Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 30 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.5 m/s and that at the outlet is 11.5 m/s. The hose makes a 180° turn 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 anchoring force required to hold the hose in place is

(a) 7.6 N 

(b) 28.4 N 

(c) 16.6 N 

(d) 34.1 N

(e) 11.9 N
