The question is incomplete, these are the missing parts of the question.

b) What is the baseball's acceleration in g's? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

(b) What is the size of the force acting on it?

Answer:

a) -14333.3ms-2

b) -1462.58g

c) 2078N

Explanation:

The acceleration (deceleration) is easily found from from the information provided. Then the acceleration is obtained in terms of g as shown in the solution attached. The force is obtained from F=ma as shown in the image attached. Note the acceleration is negative because the ball was coming to rest. (The ball was caught).
