2 A bullet of mass 9 grams passes horizontally through a fixed vertical board of thickness 3 cm . The speed of the bullet is reduced from \(250 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(150 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) as it passes through the board. The board exerts a constant resistive force on the bullet. Calculate the magnitude of this resistive force.
