Solution

Resistance offered- F=ma ,where m=20g=.02kg acclnis to be determined. v2=u2+as as bullet isstoppedafter 20 cm in plank v=0 ,u=150m/s ,s=20cm=0.2m On substituting 02=1502+2a*0.2 a=-22500/0.4 a=-56250(- sign represents deceleration) F=0.02*56250 (only magnitude of acclnas we are not told to find F vector) F=1125N=Resistance offered by wooden plank 1125=Kx225 then K=5
