Answer

The average force on the wall from the ball is $~~-(180~N)~\hat{j}$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the impulse on the ball from the wall is $~~(1.8~kg~m/s)~\hat{j}$ We can find the average force on the ball from the wall: $F~t = J$ $F = \frac{J}{t}$ $F = \frac{(1.8~kg~m/s)~\hat{j}}{10\times 10^{-3}~s}$ $F = (180~N)~\hat{j}$ The average force on the ball from the wall is $~~(180~N)~\hat{j}$ By Newton's Third Law, the average force on the wall from the ball is $~~-(180~N)~\hat{j}$.
