The static pressure of water at C is 40 lb/in2. If water flows out of the pipe at A and B with velocities vA = 12 ft/s and vB = 25 ft/s, determine the horizontal and vertical components of force exerted on the elbow at C necessary to hold the pipe assembly in equilibrium. Neglect the weight of water within the pipe and the weight of the pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 0.75 in, at C, and at A and B the diameter is 0.5 in. yw = 62.4 lb/ft3.
