If the rifle is stopped by the hunter's shoulder in a distance of 3.16 cm, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the shoulder by the rifle?

Answer in units of N.

mass of bullet = 0.0137 kg

velocity of bullet = 546 m/s to the right

mass of rifle = 3.82 kg

recoil speed of the rifle as the bullet leaves the rifle = 1.958167539 m/s
