Water flows through a circular pipe with a 180° elbow and exits to the atmosphere through a nozzle as shown in the figure. The diameter of the pipe is 300mm and the diameter of the nozzle exit is 160mm. The density of water is 1000kg/m3.  The pressure gauge at the front of the pipe (section 1) reads 60kPa. Find the force of the upper, middle and lower bolts at the flange joint at section 1 position. Assuming that four bolts are installed at the up, down, front and back, the cross-center distance of the four bolts is 150mm and the weight of the elbow and the water is 100N. Z1 is 0.3 m.
