The range of a projectile of weight $W$ is $R$. The average torque on the projectile between the initial and final positions $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ about the point of projection is
  1. $\frac{W R}{2}$
  2. $\frac{W R}{3}$
  3. $\frac{W R}{4}$
  4. WR

Solution

Given, range of a projectile of weight $W=R$ The average torque on the projectile between the initial and final positions $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ about the point of projection, $ \mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{WR}}{2} $
