A main pipe of diameter 500mm branches in two pipes of diameter 300mm each in the horizontal plane. Angle between the branches is 600, which is symmetrical with respect to the main pipe. Flow discharge through the main pipe is 1.0 m3/s, which is equally divided into the branch pipes. If the pressure intensity at the main pipe is 400KPa, find the magnitude and direction of resultant force in the bend. Assume no loss of energy due to branch junction and in pipe sections.
