You drop a 73-gg ball vertically onto a force sensor that is 0.40 mm below the ball's initial position. The ball bounces off the force sensor after the collision. (Figure 1) shows the time dependence of the force exerted by the ball on the force sensor.

Estimate the expected peak magnitude of the force. (Hint: The area under the force-versus-time curve has approximately the shape of a triangle.)
