    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 \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 90{}^\circ }{g}\] \[u=\frac{g}{\sqrt{Rg}}\] ?.(1) Here, \[{{R}_{\max }}=16km=16\times {{10}^{3}}m,g=10m/{{s}^{2}}\] Now from Eq. (1), we get \[u=\sqrt{16\times {{10}^{3}}\times 10}=400\,m/s\]
