Please determine:

a.)the head loss for the bend

b.) the magnitudes and directions of the forces anchoring the pipe bend in place, Rand Ry

Water flows through a horizontal bend in the (x, y)-plane and discharges into the atmosphere
as a free jet as shown. Gravity acts in the z direction (perpendicular to the page). The pipe
diameters are A₁ = 100 cm² and A₂ = 10 cm². When the Bourdon gauge reads Pgage = 15 kPa,
the flow rate is measured to be Q = 5.0L/s.
Determine the head loss for this bend.
