Question: Water at 2 0 C ( = 9 9 8 . 2 kg / m 3 ) flows through a 5 cm diameter pipe that

Water at 20C (=998.2 kg/m3) flows through a 5 cm diameter pipe that has
a vertical elbow of 180, as shown in the figure. The total length of the pipe between the flanges
1 and 2 is 150 cm. When the weight flow is 260 N/s, p1=185 kPa and p2=128 kPa. Ignoring the
weight of the pipe, determine the total force that the flanges must resist for this flow.
