A horizontal pipeline conveying oil (s = 0.8) contains a 60◦bend in which the internal diameter reduces from 200 mm to 100 mm. If the pipe joints on either side of the bend exert no restraint on it, what will be the force an anchorage must resist when the pressure head and the mean velocity of the ﬂuid at entry to the bend are 12 m and 3 m/s respectively? Find also the direction in which the force acts.
