Question:

A 6-in.-diameter horizontal pipeline bends through \(90^{\circ}\) and while bending changes its diameter to 3 in. The pressure in the 6-in. pipe is 30 psi. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the horizontal force on the bend when \(2.0 \mathrm{cfs}\) of water flow therein. Both pipes are in the same horizontal plane.
