A high-speed photograph of a club hitting a golf ball is shown in the figure below. The club was in contact with a ball, initially at rest, for about 0.0049 s. If the ball has a mass of 55 g and leaves the head of the club with a speed of 2.1 102 km/h, find the average force exerted on the ball by the club.
