Water is flowing in a bend which flows from horizontal to vertically upward as shown in the figure below. The diameter of the pipe increases from 1.5 m at cross section 1 to 2 m at cross section 2, which is situated 0.5 m above cross section 1. The volume of water in the pipe between cross sections 1 and 2 is 4.99492 m^3. If the discharge is m^3/s and the pressure at cross section 1 is bar, assuming there is no energy loss:
Calculate the pressure at cross section 2.
Calculate the horizontal component of the force that water flowing in the pipe exerts on the bend. Give your answer in kN (1 decimal place).
Calculate the vertical component of the force that water flowing in the pipe exerts on the bend. Give your answer in kN (1 decimal place).
Calculate the magnitude of the force that water flowing in the pipe exerts on the bend. Give your answer to the nearest kN (0 decimal places).
