Water at 50°F flows through a horizontal bend and discharges into the atmosphere as shown in the figure below. When the pressure gage reads p = 5 psi, the resultant x-direction anchoring force in the horizontal plane required to hold the bend in place. Fan is equal to 1240 1b. The flow is not frictionless. The areas Aq and A2 are 0.3 and 0.15 ft?respectively, Bend Q = ? Water FAX A1 Az 45° (a) Determine the flowrate through the bend. Q- tts (b) Find the y-direction anchoring force FA required to hold the bend in place, FANT
