Water (γ = 62.4 lbf/ft3 ) fl ows through a horizontal constant diameter pipe with a cross-sectional area of 9 in.2 . Th e velocity in the pipe is 15 ft /s, and the water discharges to the atmosphere. Th e head loss between the pipe joint and the end of the pipe is 3 ft . Find the force on the joint to hold the pipe. Th e pipe is mounted on frictionless rollers. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations.
