2. A bullet of mass 6 grams passes horizontally through a fixed, vertical board. After the bullet has travelled 2 cm through the board its speed is reduced from \(400 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(250 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The board exerts a constant resistive force on the bullet.
Find, to 3 significant figures, the magnitude of this resistive force.
