Problem

A cricket ball moves horizontally toward a bat at 12 m s−112\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} and is returned along the same path at 28 m s−128\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. During contact, the force on the ball rises uniformly from zero to 1000 N1000\,\text{N} in 5.0 ms5.0\,\text{ms}, after which it falls instantly to zero. Determine the mass of the ball.
