Consider a length of pipe bent into a U-shape. The inside diameter of thepipe is 0.5 m. Air enters one leg of the pipe at a mean velocity of 100 m/sand exits the other leg at the same magnitude of velocity, but moving inthe opposite direction. The pressure of the flow at the inlet and exit is theambient pressure of the surroundings. Calculate the magnitude anddirection of the force exerted on the pipe by the airflow. The air densityis 1.23 kg/m3.
