Problem

A cricket ball moves horizontally toward a bat at

12\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}

and is returned along the same path at

28\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}

. During contact, the force on the ball rises uniformly from zero to

1000\,\text{N}

5.0\,\text{ms}

, after which it falls instantly to zero. Determine the mass of the ball.
