Problem 3. Water is flowing into and discharging from a pipe U-section as shown in the figure. At the flange (labeled as point 1), the total absolute pressure is 200 kPa, and 55 kg/s flows into the pipe. At flange (2), the total pressure is 150 kPa. At location (3), 15 kg/s of water discharges to the atmosphere (100 kPa). Determine the total x- and z-forces at the two flanges connecting the pipe. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 throughout the pipes. Note that pressure at point (1) and (2) must be adjusted to gage pressure. 15 kg/s -3 cm 40 kg/s -10 cm 55 kg/s- 5 cm
