Answer

$1.82\ kN$

Work Step by Step

Initial speed of the hand $v_i = 13\ m/s$ Final speed of the hand $v_f = 0\ m/s$ Mass of the hand $m=0.7\ kg$ Magnitude of impulse is $J=9.1\ kg.m/s$ Using the relation between force and impulse to find the average Force: $F_{avg} =\frac{J}{\Delta t}$ $F_{avg} =\frac{9.1\ kg.m/s}{5\times 10^{-3}\ s}$ $F_{avg} = 1820\ kgm/s^2 = 1.82\ kN$
