Water issues through a horizontal 180° pipe bend as shown in Figure P5.35. The pipe has the same diameter, 12 in, before and after the bend and the velocity through the bend is 10 ft/s. The pressures at the entrance and exist of the bend are 12 psi and 10 psi, respectively. Calculate the horizontal (x and y) components of the force exerted by the bend on the flowing water.
