Water enters a two-dimensional, square channel of constant width, h = 84.1 mm, with uniform velocity, UU = 10 m/s. The channel makes a 90o90o bend that distorts the flow to produce the linear velocity profile shown at the exit, with Vmax = 5 Vmin. The inlet pressure is 169 kPa (abs), and the outlet pressure is 140 kPa (abs).

Assuming water =1000 kg/m33 and PatmPatm=101.325 kPa.

Find (a) Fx and (b) Fy components of force required to hold the bend in place.
