A solid disc of mass M is just held in air

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A solid disc of mass $M$ is just held in air horizontally by throwing $40$ stones per sec vertically upwards to strike the disc each with a velocity $6\,m{s^{ - 1}}$. If the mass of each stone is $0.05\,kg$ what is the mass of the disc  ........... $kg$     $(g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}$)

A

$1.2$

B

$0.5$

C

$20$

D

$3$

A solid disc of mass $M$ is just held in air horizontally by throwing $40$ stones per sec vertically upwards to strike the disc each with a velocity $6\,m{s^{ - 1}}$. If the mass of each stone is $0.05\,kg$ what is the mass of the disc  ........... $kg$     $(g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}$)

  Weight of the disc will be balanced by the force applied by the bullet on the disc in vertically upward direction.

$F = nmv = 40 \times 0.05 \times 6 = Mg$

$⇒$ $M = \frac{{40 \times 0.05 \times 6}}{{10}} = 1.2\,kg$
