In an hour-glass,approximately $100$ grains of sand fall per second (starting from rest); and it takes $2 \, s$ for each sand particle to reach the bottom of the hour-glass. If the average mass of each sand particle is $0.2 \, g$,then the average force exerted by the falling sand on the bottom of the hour-glass is close to .......... $N$.

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.8$
  • C
    $1.2$
  • D
