Consider water flow through a horizontal, short pipe at a rate of 80 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.5 m/s and that at the outlet is 16.5 m/s. The pipe makes a 90° turn to a vertical direction before the water is discharged. Disregard the weight of the pipe and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.04 at both the inlet and the outlet, the reaction force in the horizontal direction required to hold the pipe in place is

(a) 73.7 N 

(b) 97.1 N 

(c) 99.2 N 

(d) 122 N 

(e) 153 N
