    The maximum range of a gun on horizontal terrain is 16 km if\[g=10m\text{/}{{s}^{2}}\]. 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 \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 90{}^\circ }{g}\] \[u=\sqrt{Rg}\]                                 ?(1) Here :    \[{{R}_{\max }}=16\,km=16\times {{10}^{3}}m,\] \[g=10\,m\text{/}{{s}^{2}}\] Now from eq. (1), we get \[u=\sqrt{16\times {{10}^{3}}\times 10}\]                    \[=400\,m\text{/}s\]
