A mass of $100\,g$ strikes the wall with speed $5\,m/s$ at an angle as shown in figure and it rebounds with the same speed. If the contact time is $2 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\sec $, what is the force applied on the mass by the wall

A projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ( $x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance. $r =\sqrt{ x ^2+ y ^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$, the resulting curves show different behaviours for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure below. For $\alpha_1, r ( x )$ keeps increasing with $x$ while for $\alpha_2$, $r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum, then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at an angle $\alpha_c\left(\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2\right)$. The value of $\alpha_c$ is [ignore where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
