Problem 1.328

Water flows out of a big tank along a tube bent at right angles; the inside radius of the tube is equal to r=0.50 cmr=0.50 \mathrm{~cm} (Fig. 1.87 ). The length of the horizontal section of the tube is equal to l=22 cml=22 \mathrm{~cm} The water flow rate is Q=0.50Q=0.50 litres per second. Find the moment of reaction forces of flowing water, acting on the tube's walls, relative to the point OO.
