A solid disc of mass M is just held in air horizontal by throwing 40 stones per sec vertically upwards to strike the disc each with a velocity 6 ms−1. If the mass of each stone is 0.05 kg. What is the mass of the disc?
(g=10 ms−2)
1.2 kg
Weight of the disc will be balanced by the force applied by the bullet on the disc in vertically upward direction
F=nmv=40×0.05×6=MgM=1210=1.2kg
