Problem

A force pulse acting on a small block is triangular: the force rises linearly from

0

t = 0

to a maximum value

F_{\text{max}}

t = 2\,\text{ms}

, then falls linearly back to

0

t = 6\,\text{ms}

. If the total impulse delivered by the pulse is

3\,\text{N\,s}

, determine

F_{\text{max}}

. a)

1500\,\text{N}

1000\,\text{N}

500\,\text{N}

3000\,\text{N}
