Answer

The magnitude of the average force on the ball from the wall is $~~170~N$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that the magnitude of the impulse on the ball from the wall is $~~1.3~kg~m/s$ We can find the magnitude of the average force on the ball from the wall: $F~t = J$ $F = \frac{J}{t}$ $F = \frac{1.3~kg~m/s}{7.6\times 10^{-3}~s}$ $F = 170~N$ The magnitude of the average force on the ball from the wall is $~~170~N$
