A0.250 kg lump of clay is dropped from a height of 1.15 m onto the floor. it sticks to the floor and does not bounce.

a force versus time graph. the force f is plotted along the vertical axis and the time t is plotted along the horizontal axis. the force is zero except over a second interval. over the interval of nonzero force, the force versus time curve takes the shape of an isosceles triangle with a value of f equals f subscript max at its apex.

what is the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the clay by the floor during the impact?

=.002375 kg⋅m/s
the force exerted by the floor on the clay is plotted as a function of time in the figure. what must have been the maximum force max exerted by the floor on the clay?
