Water is flowing into and discharging from a pipe U-section as shown in the given figure. At flange (1), the total absolute pressure is 200 kPa, and 57 kg/s flows into the pipe. At flange (2), the total pressure is 150 kPa. At location (3), 19 kg/s of water discharges to the atmosphere, which is at 100 kPa. Determine the total x- and z- forces at the two flanges connecting the plpe. Discuss the significance of gravity force for this problem. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 103 throughout the pipes. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3. z kg/s 3 cm Ykg/s 110 cm 8 ! L x kg/s 5cm г 0
