Assume that the gage pressure p is the same at sections 1 and 2 in the horizontal

Question:

Assume that the gage pressure p is the same at sections 1 and 2 in the horizontal bend shown in the figure. The fluid flowing in the bend has density ρ, discharge Q, and velocity V. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is A. Then the magnitude of the force (neglecting gravity) required at the flanges to hold the bend in place will be 

(a) pA

(b) pA + ρQV

(c) 2pA + ρQV, or

(d) 2pA + 2ρQV.
