A gun is firing bullets with velocity `v_0` by rotating it through `360^@` in the horizontal plane. The maximum area covered by the bullets is

A

`pi((v_0^(4))/g^(2))`

B

`pi((v_0^(2))/(2g))^(2)`

C

`pi(v_0/g)^(2)`

D

`pi(v_0/(2g))^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`R=(u^(2)sin 2 theta)/g`
Range R is maximum when ` sin 2 theta=1`
`R_(max)=(u^(2))/g`
Maximum area coverted `=pi(R_(max))^(2)=pi((u^(2))/g)^(2)`
