Solution

The correct option is A 104 kg/m
Step1: Find the final velocity of the body.

Given that,
Mass m=102 kg
Initial velocity v0=10 m/s
Time t=10 s
Frictional force F=Kv2
Now,
12mv2f=18mv20

vf=v02

vf=102

=5 m/s

Step2: Find the value of k.
Formula Used: F=ma
kv2=mdvdt

v020dvv2=t00kdtm

[1v]v02v0=kmt0

On solving we get
k=mv0t0

=10210×10=104 kg/m

Final Answer: (a)
