Question: Water is steadily flowing through the U - pipe section shown in the Figure. ( 3 0 mathrm { ~kg } /

Water is steadily flowing through the U-pipe section shown in the Figure. \(30\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) flow into the pipe at point 1 with absolute pressure of 210 kPa through a diameter \( D_{l}=55\mathrm{~mm}\). At point \(3,11\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) discharge to atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa through a \( D_{3}=50\mathrm{~mm}\) diameter pipe. It is also known that at point 2 the pipe diameter is \( D_{2}=110\mathrm{~mm}\) and the absolute pressure is 150 kPa . The volume of water in the pipe segment is 20 liters and the weight of the pipe itself is 140 N . Determine the \( x \)-component (horizontal) of the force required to hold the pipe in place. Clearly show the direction of that force. You will receive 8 points for the complete formulation of the problem and 2 points for the detailed calculations of the required force.
