Detailed Solution
The reaction force offered by the wall to the bullets = the force exerted by bullets on the wall (third law of motion) = the rate of change of momentum of bullets (second law of motion). Now, total mass of N bullets = Nm. Momentum of N bullets = Nmv. Time t=NnSo, the change of momentum per second = NmvNn=nmv
