A baseball pitcher delivers a fastball with a nearhorizontal velocity of 90 mi/hr. The batter hits a home run over the center-field fence. The 5-oz ball travels a horizontal distance of 350 ft, with an initial velocity in the 45° direction shown. Determine the magnitude F_av of the average force exerted by the bat on the ball during the 0.005 seconds of contact between the bat and the ball. Neglect air resistance during the flight of the ball.
