Question:

Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 40 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.5 m/s and that at the outlet is 16 m/s. The hose makes a 90° turn to a vertical direction before the water is discharged. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.04 at both the inlet and the outlet, the reaction force in the vertical direction required to hold the hose in place is

(a) 11.1 N 

(b) 10.1 N 

(c) 9.3 N 

(d) 27.2 N 

(e) 28.9 N
