In a U-shape pipe, water steadily flows into section 1 and discharges at section 2 and 3. The pipe diameters at sections 1, 2 and 3 are 5 cm, 10 cm and 3 cm, respectively. The pressures (gauge) at sections 1 and 2 are 100 kPa and 50 kPa, while section 3 is open to the atmosphere. Determine the forces to hold the pipe in place. Neglect the weight of pipe and water therein.
