Question:

Water flows steadily through the horizontal 30° pipe bend shown below. At station 1, the diameter is 0.3 m, the velocity is 12 m/s, and the pressure is 128 kPa gage. At station 2, the diameter is 0.38 m and the pressure is 145 kPa gage. Determine the forces F_xand F_znecessary to hold the pipe bend stationary.
