Question 43

A high-precision robotic gripper on an automated assembly line catches a moving component and brings it to a complete stop.

The momentum of the component just before it makes contact with the gripper is 3.15 kg m s^-1.

The component comes to rest 0.075 s after first making contact with the gripper.

Calculate the magnitude of the average force exerted by the gripper on the component.

Use the equation:

\text{force} = \frac{\text{change in momentum}}{\text{time taken}}
