The diagram in Figure 1 shows a 180 elbow that is attached to a piping system at its inlet and outlet. Liquid ethanol (p = 780 kg/m) enters the elbow at an average speed of 0.7 m/'s and a pressure of 460 kPa (abs) where the diameter is 0.2 m. The ethanol exits the elbow at a pressure of 250 kPa (gauge) and the diameter is 0.05 m. The internal volume of the elbow is 0.016 m'. Determine the x and y components of the resulting force that must be provided by the pipes to prevent the elbow from moving. gravity y 450
