Water at 20°C flows down a vertical 6-cm-diameter tube at 300 gal/min, as in the figure the flow then turns horizontally and exits through a 90° radial duct segment 1 cm thick, as shown. If the radial outflow is uniform and steady, estimate the forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) required to support this system against fluid momentum changes.
