11948.64 N

Explanation:

By Newtons Second law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force acted upon the object,

F = Change in momentum (ΔΡ) / time taken (t) = m (v-u) / t (because momentum (P) = mass*velocity)

So we get,

F = ma

= 2569.6*4.65 = 11948.64 N where F = net force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration of the object
