How much impulse did they experience?

[Singinginshower]

Homework Statement

F=950
T=0.12 S

Homework Equations

For impulse I should use the equation J=FT the problem with this is that it yields a seemingly incorrect answer

The Attempt at a Solution

J=950*0.12=114

The problem seems a bit oddly stated: He produces the force in 0.12 seconds is not the same as he exerted the force for 0.12 seconds. What was the average force exerted during that time?

The question does not mention an average force, I believe my teacher has made a mistake on this question.
