A bullet moving with a velocity of 100 m/s can just penetrate two planks of equal thickness. The number of such planks penetrated by the same bullet, when the velocity is doubled, will be

penetrated a plank and loses one-fifth of its velocity. It then strikes second plank, which it just penetrates through. Supposing the average resistance to the penetration is same in both the cases, the ratio of the thickness of the planks will be:
