Water flows through a Y-shaped horizontal pipe system consisting of two branches and a stem, as shown in Figure P5.34. The velocity in the stem is 3 m/s and the diameter is 20 cm. Each branch is 10.0 cm diameter and makes a 30° angle with the axis of the stem. The pressure in the stem is 196.2 kNlm2 and the flow is divided equally between the two branches. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the Y-shaped connection.
