Quantitative analysis of ideal gas

Friends throw snowballs at the wall of a 3.0 m X 6.0 m barn. The snowballs have mass 0.10 kg and hit the wall moving at an average speed of 6.0 m/s. They do not rebound. Determine the average pressure exerted by the snowballs on the wall if 40 snowballs hit the wall each second. Which problem, this or the previous problem, resembles the actions of the molecules of an ideal gas hitting the walls of their container?
