N-sided Channel
Triangular 8. Water flows steadily through the double elbow shown in figure. Water flows
(half of a 2N-sided polygon)
into the elbow from the top at 5 m/s, and from the left at 15 m/s. Determine
x=2y the resultant of the force needed to hold the elbow in place.

m3/s. If the mean velocity is 0.75 m/s, - is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes
also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum
change).
