 Two incompressible fluids enter a pipe section horizontally with densities, velocities,

Two incompressible fluids enter a pipe section horizontally with densities, velocities, and pressures as indicated in the figure. The inlet pipes have diameters D1=4cm and D2=3cm. The fluids mix and the mixture is discharged from a D3=2cm diameter nozzle at angle =60 from horizontal with the pressure and velocity indicated. The outside of the pipe section is exposed to uniform atmospheric pressure. Find the total combined force vector provided by the two flanges together to hold the pipe section in place. The weight of the pipe section and fluid held inside can be neglected in the force calculations
