A block of mass m = 8.40 kg, moving on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed 4.20 m/s, makes a perfectly elastic collision with a block of mass M at rest

After the collision, the 8.40 block recoils with a speed of 0.400 m/s. In the figure, the blocks are in contact for 0.200 s. The magnitude of the average force on the 8.40-kg block, while the two blocks are in contact, is closest to A) 193 N. B) 185 N. C) 176 N. D) 168 N. E) 160 N.
