Extracted text: A1 m-diameter pipe bend shown in the diagram is carrying crude oil (S= 0.94) with a steady flow rate of 2 m3/s. The bend has an angle of 30° and lies in a horizontal plane. The volume of oil in the bend is 1.2 m3, and the empty weight of the bend is 4 kN. Assume the pressure along the centerline of the bend is constant with a value of 75 kPa gage. Find the net force required to hold the bend in place. Bolted flange Flow 30
