If n bullets each of mass \(m\) are fired with a velocity \(v\) per second from a machine gun, the force required to hold the gun in position is
If n bullets each of mass \(m\) are fired with a velocity \(v\) per second from a machine gun, the force required to hold the gun in position is
Show Hint
In continuous mass flow problems, force equals rate of change of momentum: \(F = \dot{m}v\).

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Knowing the initial position \( x_0 \) and initial momentum \( p_0 \) is enough to determine the position and momentum at any time \( t \) for a simple harmonic motion with a given angular frequency \( \omega \).
Reason (R): The amplitude and phase can be expressed in terms of \( x_0 \) and \( p_0 \).
