Benzene is flowing at steady state through the nozzle shown below at 80°F and at a constant flow rate of 3 ft3/sec.

Note that the nozzle exit is at an angle of 50 degrees as shown. At the inlet the diameter is 5 in. and the liquid is at a pressure of 500 lbf/ft2. At the outlet, the diameter is 2 in. and the pressure is 300 lbf/ft2. For this problem the weight of the benzene in the fitting is 30 lbf. Calculate the forces in all directions necessary to hold the pipe bend stationary.
