An U-bend is sketched in Fig. 1. In it we read the two

pressure gauges and the force on the pipe bend
(using strain gauges and dandy electronics). From
those three readings we compute the fluid velocity in
the pipe. The cross-sectional area of the pipe and the
couplings of the bend is 1 in 2. The following fluid is
water. P1 reads 20 psig, P2 reads 18 psig. The
restraining force, measured by the strain gauge and
the dandy electronics, is 45 lbf, acting in the minus x
direction. The couplings between the straight sections
of pipe and the bend are of a magical variety that
transmit no forces and allow no leakage. For this
problem, the accelaration of gravity is zero (we are in
space capsule). What is the fluid velocity in the pipe?
