4.15 Water flows through a tee in a horizontal pipe system as shown in the figure. The incoming velocity is 15 ft/s, the pressure is 20 psi, and the pipe diameter is 12 in. Each branch of the tee is 6 in. in diameter and the velocities in the branches are the same.

Determine the magnitude and direction of the force of the water on the tee.
