The force shown in the attached figure is the net eastward force acting on a ball. The force starts rising at t = 0.012 s, falls back to zero at t = 0.062 s, and reaches a maximum force of 35 N at the peak. Determine with an error no bigger than 25% (high or low) the magnitude of the impulse (in N-s) delivered to the ball. Hint: Do not use J = FΔt. Look at the figure. Find the area of a nearly equally sized triangle.

Impulse = Integral of F(t) dt from 0.012s to 0.062 s

Given that you do not know the function F(t) you have to make an approximation.

The integral is the area under the curve.

The problem suggest you to approximate the area to a triangle.

In this triangle the base is the time: 0.062 s - 0.012 s = 0.050 s

The height is the peak force: 35 N.

Then, the area is [1/2] (0.05s) (35N) = 0.875 N*s

Answer> 0.875 N*s
