Oil (specific gravity, 0.8) flows through a constant-diameter pipe-(pipe diameter, D=3 inches) that goes through a bend of angle, θ=45° The flow rate in the pipe is 0.12 ft3 /s. The pressure in the pipe atAandBis the same, namely, 11 psi . The flow occurs in the horizontal plane. It may be assumed that the velocity at any cross-section is constant over the entire cross-section.
1.Determine the x component of force the flow exerts on the elbow (the sign of your result should indicate the direction, so that a positve value indicates that the force is directed in the positive x-direction).
2.Determine the y component of the force the flow exerts on the elbow (the sign of your result should indicate the direction, so that a positve value indicates that the force is in the positive y-direction).
