    F_x = 750.7 N

    Explanation:

    Given:

    - Length of the pipe between flanges L = 75 cm

    - Weight Flow rate is flow (W) = 230 N/c

    - P_1 = 165 KPa

    - P_2 = 134 KPa

    - P_atm = 101 KPa

    - Diameter of pipe D = 0.05 m

    Find:

    The total force that the flanges must withstand F_x.

    Solution:

    - Use equation of conservation of momentum.

    (P_1 - P_a) * A + (P_2 - P_a) * A - F_x = flow (m) * (V_2 - V_1)

    - From conservation of mass:

    A*V_1 = A*V_2

    V_1 = V_2 (but opposite in directions)

    - Hence,

    (P_1 - P_a) * A + (P_2 - P_a) * A - F_x = - 2*flow (m) * V_1

    flow (m) = flow (W) / g

    p*A*V_1 = flow (W) / g

    V_1 = flow (W) / g*p*A

    Hence,

    (P_1 - P_a) * A + (P_2 - P_a) * A - F_x = - 2*flow (W) ^2 / g^2*p*A

    Hence, compute:

    64*10^3 * pi*0.05^2 / 4 + 33*10^3 * pi*0.05^2 / 4 - F_x = - 2 * (230/9.81) ^2 / 997*pi*0.05^2 / 4

    125.6 + 64.7625 - F_x = - 560.33

    F_x = 750.7 N
