The diameter of a pipe bend is 0.3m at inlet and 0.15m at outlet and the flow is turned through 120° in a vertical plane. The axis at inlet is horizontal and centre of the outlet section is 1.5m below the centre of inlet section. The total volume of fluid contained in the bend is 0.085 m3. Neglecting friction, calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the bend by the water flowing through it at 225 1/s when the inlet pressure is 137.34 kN/m2.
