Water issues through a 180° vertical reducer bend with a discharge of 0.1
/s, as shown in Figure P5.43. The diameter decreases from 20 cm at the inlet to 10 cm at the outlet of the reducer. The pressure head at the center line of the inlet of the bend is 11 m of water. If the volume of water inside the bend is O .12
 and assuming the validity of Bernoulli's equation, calculate the reaction needed to hold the bend in place. The weight of the bend metal is 900 kg-m/.
