(P6.32)-In a 45 degree bend a rectangular air duct of 1 m^2 cross-sectional area is gradually reduced to 0.5 m^2 area. Find the magnitude and direction of the force required to hold the duct in position if the velocity of flow at the 1 m^2 section is 10m/s and pressure is 2.943 N/cm^2. take density of air as 1.16kg/m^3.
