The bend is connected to the pipe at flanges A and B as shown. If the diameter of the pipe is 160 mm and the volumetric flow is 0.18 m3/s, determine the horizontal and vertical components of force and the moment exerted at the fixed base D of the support. The total mass of the bend and the water within it is 120 kg, and the mass center is at point G. The pressure of the water at A is 120 kPa. Assume that no force is transferred to the flanges at A and B.
