A Box of mass 1.2 kg is dropped from a window. the box starts from rest (inital speed 0). Immediately before hitting the ground the box has a speed of 34.34 m/s. It takes the boxs 0.017s for the box to come to rest after hitting the ground. What is the average net force on the box while it comes to rest. Round to the nearest whole number.
