Homework Statement
In the figure , what value of Fmax gives an impulse of 7.1 Ns
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Impulse is the integral of force with respect to time which is the same the area under the force-time graph which is given by the area of the triangle: 0.5*Fmax*8s
7.1 Ns = 4s * Fmax
Fmax = 1.775 N
However that's not the right answer. Where did I go wrong? Thanks!
