2) For the pipe-flow reducing section of the figure shown with points 1 (flange) and 2 (outlet), diameter D1?=8cm, diameter D2?=5cm, and p2?=1atm. All fluids are at 20?C. If V1?=5m/s and a manometer reading at point 1 shows h=58cm of mercury, estimate the total horizontal force resisted by the flange bolts.
