Riadh,
k -> 3.2 is a rule. Mathematica usually provides the solution to equations
in the form of rules. To learn more how this works check out Solve in Help
and Section 1.5.7 in The Mathematica Book.
If we write:
k /. k -> 3.2 we get
3.2 where /. means replace k using the rule.
The simplest method to create a list of objects is to use the Table command.
To obtain a list of the solutions to your equations we simply use:
Table[k /.
FindRoot[- k BesselJ[1, k] + 30 BesselJ[0, k] == 0, {k, 2.32 + i Pi}],
{i, 0, 9}]
{2.32614, 5.34098, 8.37707, 11.4221, 14.4748, 17.5348, 20.602, 23.6762,
26.7568, 29.8435}
