A reversing elbow used to deflect water flow at a rate of 14 kg/s in a horizontal pipe to make a U-turn before it is discharged into the atmosphere, as shown in Figure 1. The cross-section area of the elbow is 113 cm² at the inlet and 7 cm² at the outlet. The elevation difference between the centers of the outlet and inlet is 30 cm. Neglecting the weight of the elbow and the water in it and assuming the flow is frictionless, determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place.

A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 95 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward 45° while accelerating it (Figure below). The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere (ρ= 1000 kg/m3). The crosssectional area of the elbow is 113 cm2 at the inlet and 7 cm2 at the outlet. The elevation difference between the centers of the outlet and the inlet is 30 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine(a) the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force FRZ needed to hold the elbow in place.
A 90" elbow is used to direct water flow at a rate of 0,025 m3/s in a horizontal pipe upward. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference betwoen the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 35 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible.

A lawn sprinkler with three identical arms is used to water a garden by rotating in a horizontal plane by the impulse caused by water flow. Water enters the sprinkler along the axis of rotation at a rate of 45 L/s and leaves the 1.5-cm-diameter nozzles in the tangential direction. The bearing applies a retarding torque of T0 = 40 N·m due to friction at the anticipated operating speeds. For a normal distance of 40 cm between the axis of rotation and the center of the nozzles, determine the angular velocity of the sprinkler shaft.

4. Hydroelectric plants in the mountains bring water from a reservoir down to a turbine through enclosed tubes. In such plants, the 100 cm diameter intake tube (Point 2) in the dam is 50m below the water surface (Point 1) of the reservoir. The water drops 200 m through the tube before flowing into the turbine through a 50 cm diameter nozzle.
A 60-kg ice skater is standing on ice with ice skates (negligible friction). She is holding a flexible hose (essentially weightless) that directs a 2-cm-diameter stream of water horizontally parallel to her skates. The water velocity at the hose outlet is 10 m/s relative to the skater. If she is initially standing still, determine (a) the velocity of the skater and the distance she travels in 5 s and (b) how long it will take to move 5 m and the velocity at that moment.

A reducing elbow is used to deflect and accelerate the flow of water from a horizontal pipe to 30 ° at a rate of 14 kg / s. The elbow discharges the water into the atmosphere. The cross-sectional area at the inlet is 113 cm2 and at the outlet 7 cm2. You can neglect the weight of the elbow and of the water. It is estimated that the head loss due to the HLT elbow is equivalent to 0.3 m col of water. Determine the force (Vector) in [N] that must be applied to the flange to hold the elbow in place.
