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=15 psi, the resultant x-direction anchoring force in the horizontal plane required to hold the bend in place, FAx?, is equal to 1440lb. The flow is not frictionless. The areas A1? and A2? are 0.3 and 0.15ft2 respectively. (d) Determine the flowrate through the bend. Q=ft3/s (b) Find the y-direction anchoring force FAy?, required to hold the bend in place. FAy?=lb
