        The maximum range of a gun on horizontal terrain is 16 km if\[g=10\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]. What must be the muzzle velocity of the shell?

    A)  200 m/s              

    B)  100 m/s

    C)  400 m/s              

    D)  300 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    We know that in projection of the particle, for maximum range,\[\theta =45{}^\circ \]. Now, maximum range                 \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 90{}^\circ }{g}\] The muzzle velocity of the shell \[u=\sqrt{R}g\]                  ...(i) Here, \[{{R}_{\max }}=16\text{ }km=16\times {{10}^{3}}m,\text{ }g=10\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\] Now, from Eq. (i), we get                 \[u=\sqrt{16\times {{10}^{3}}\times 10}\] \[=400\text{ }m/s\]
