A car driver collides with an airbag during a crash. The driver’s body, with a total mass of [m] kg, is moving at an initial speed of [v] m/s when it comes into contact with the airbag. The airbag brings the driver to rest over the time interval t1 = 0 to t2 = 0.85 s. The figure shows the plot of the force magnitude exerted on the driver by the airbag as a function of time. Determine the maximum force Fmax in newtons.
