A cricket player catches a ball of mass $120g$ moving with $25m{s}^{- 1}$ speed. If the catching process is completed in $0 . 1s$ then the magnitude of force exerted by the ball on the hand of player will be(in SI unit):

Options

A $24$
B $12$
C $25$
D $30$

Correct answer

D. $30$

Step-by-step solution

Average force exerted will be, ${F}_{av} = \left|\dfrac{\Deltap}{\Deltat}\right|$

$= \left|\dfrac{0 - 0 . 12 \times 25}{0 . 1}\right| = 30N$
