A bottle has a thin nozzle on top. It is filled with water, held horizontally at a height of $1 \mathrm{m}$ and squeezed slowly by hands so that the water jet coming out of the nozzle hits the ground at a distance of $2 \mathrm{m}.$ If the area over which the handss $s$ sare which the hands squeeze it is $10 {\mathrm{cm}}^2,$ the force applied by hands is close to (take $g=10 \mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$ and density of water $=1000 \mathrm{kg}/{\mathrm{m}}^3$)

• A

  $20 \mathrm{N}$
• Correct answer
  B

  $10 \mathrm{N}$
• C

  $5 \mathrm{N}$
• D

  $2.5 \mathrm{N}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
