A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00x 10 to the 7 th power kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s, and comes to rest after traveling 6.00 m,  damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain,s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse.(Hint:Fist calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest.)
