Calculating Impact Force When Force Is Not Constant

[QUOTE="Simon Bridge, post: 5487423, member: 367532"] You don't. The concept of "impact force" makes no sense. What you do is you plot a Force-time graph: the area under that graph is the change in momentum. It is very unusual for the energy in an impact to be conserved in a way that makes the calculation easy: hoe do you account for the energy that goes to sound, heat, or deformation of the impacting objects?
