Water flows through a 308 pipe bend at a rate of 200 gpm. The diameter of the entrance to the bend is 2.5 in., and that of the exit is 3 in. The pressure in the pipe is 30 psig, and the pressure drop in the bend is negligible. What is the total force (magnitude and direction) exerted by the fluid on the pipe bend?
