Water flows through a horizontal, 180 degree pipe bend as illustrated below. The flow cross- sectional area is constant at a value of 0.1ft2 through the bend. The magnitude of the flow velocity everywhere in the bend is axial and 50ft/s. The absolute pressures at the entrance and exit of the bend are 30psia and 24psia, respectively. Calculate the horizontal (x and y) components of the anchoring force required to hold the bend in place.
