we will calculate the retardation of bullet after hitting wooden block.
v2-u2=2as
by using this we will get a=9750m/s2.
now force = mass x acceleration = 9750 x 0.04 =390 N
hope this will help ..
if there is any more doubt in this question then let me know i will happy to help you ..
Thanks and Regards
