Water flows through a 2-ft-diameter pipe arranged horizontally in a circular arc as shown in the figure below. If the pipe discharges to the atmosphere (p = 14.7 psia), determine (a) the x and (b) y components of the resultant force needed to hold the piping between sections (1) and (2) stationary. The steady flowrate is 3100 ft/min. The loss in pressure due to fluid friction between sections (1) and (2) is 26 psi. (a) Rx = lb (b) Ry= i lb Water flows through a 2-ft-diameter pipe arranged horizontally in a circular arc as shown in the figure below.
