    50405.02 N

    Explanation:

    Using Newton second law of motion

    Force * time = change in momentum

    Force = change in momentum / time = m₁Δv + m₂v₁

    where m₁ = 103 kg/s, m₂ = 3.86 kg/s, v₁ = 757 m/s,

    Force = 103 kg/s (757 - 296) + (3.86 kg/s * 757 m/s) = 47483 + 2922.02 = 50405.02 N
