The angle of a horizontal reducer bend with an initial diameter of 20 cm and a final diameter of 10 cm is 45° as shown in Figure P5.41. The discharge through the bend is 0.1
/s and the pressure head at the bend inlet is 10 m of water. Assuming a friction loss inside the bend of 10% of the kinetic energy at the bend exit, determine the force required to hold the bend in place.
