Transcribed Image Text:

The diameter of a pipe bend 30 cm at inlet and 15 cm at outlet and flow is turned through 120° (angle measured in clockwise direction between direction of fluid flow at inlet and outlet) in a vertical plane. The axis at inlet is horizontal and the centre of the outlet section is 1.5 m below the centre of inlet section. Total volume of water in the bend is 0.9 m². Neglecting friction, calculate the magnitude and direction of force exerted on the bend by water flowing through it at 250 lit/s and v I when inlet pressure is 0.15 N/mm².
