Q.1. A reducing elbow given in Figure-3 is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 30 [kg/s] in a horizontal pipe upward by an angle -45 from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into atmosphere. The cross-sectional area of elbow is 150 [cm] at the inlet and 25 [cm] at the exit. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and inlet is 40 [cm]. The mass of elbow and the water in it is 50 [kg]. Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. Water 150 cm + 25 cm- 45 40 cm Figure-1
