To solve the problem of how much force must be applied to the machine gun to keep it in position while firing bullets, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem The machine gun has a mass of \(20 \, \text{kg}\) and fires bullets of mass \(35 \, \text{g}\) at a speed of \(400 \, \text{m/s}\). It fires \(400\) bullets per minute. We need to find the force required to keep the gun stationary. ### Step 2: Convert bullet mass to kilograms The mass of each bullet in kilograms is: \[ ...
