Question: A 3-cm-diameter horizontal pipe attached to a surface makes a 90 turn to a vertical upward direction before the water is discharged at a velocity

A 3-cm-diameter horizontal pipe attached to a surface makes a 90° turn to a vertical upward direction before the water is discharged at a velocity of 9 m/s. The horizontal section is 5 m long and the vertical section is 4 m long. Neglecting the mass of the water contained in the pipe, the bending moment acting on the base of the pipe on the wall is

(a) 286 N · m 

(b) 229 N · m 

(c) 207 N · m

(d) 175 N · m 

(e) 124 N·m
