A Diwali cracker releases 25 gram gas per second, with a speed of \(400 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) after
explosion. The force exerted by gas on the cracker is

  1. A 100 dyne
  2. B 16 newton
  3. C 10 newton
  4. D 10,000 dyne
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 10 newton

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{F}=\) rate of change of momentum
\(=25 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s} \times 400 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) \(=10 \mathrm{~N}\)
