I'm not completely sure, but I think it's 3.4 newtons. I hope you get it correct.
Answer D. The pitch is in the frequency.
Explanation:
first you have to find accelerarion, it is given that the initial velocity(u) is 3 m/s, distance travelled(s) be 2m finall it came to rest so final velocity be 0m/s
now using the 3rd law of motion
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+2a2
a= -9/4m/s^2
now force=mass×accelration
=2kg×(-9/4)m/s^2
=4.5 N
4.5 newton force applied on the book!
✌️:)
I believe the answer is D, only a small part of it
