Problem

The balloon deforms when it weakly hits the wall, as shown in the figure. The maximum deformation of the balloon x is much smaller than its radius R. Ignoring the change in excess pressure ∆P of air in the balloon and the elasticity of the shell, estimate the time of impact with the wall. The mass of the ball m.
