The average force on the shell while it is in the gun barrel is 10,869,833.33N.

HOW TO CALCULATE FORCE?

Force applied on an object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by its acceleration.

However, the acceleration needs to be calculated by using the following equation:

v² - u² = 2as

Where;

  • v = final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • a = acceleration
  • s = distance

770² - 0² = 2 (a)(1.5)

592900 = 3a

a = 197633.3m/s²

Force = 55kg × 197633.3m/s²

Force = 10,869,833.33N

Therefore, the average force on the shell while it is in the gun barrel is 10,869,833.33N.
