We study the flow through a riser which acts as a reducer. The pipe in the riser is 2.5 in. and the jet that exits the reducer at B is 2 in. The flow rate through the system is 270 gal/min with 1 ft3=7.5 gal. The system (riser+ reducer) and the water within it have a weight of 35 lb, which acts at G, the center of gravity. Find (20 points): (a) the pressure at B (b) the reaction force at A (magnitude and angle from the vertical)(c) the reaction torque at A.
