This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.
There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.
If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that. But the question doesn't give us the time.
It depends on the material of the surface. Was the clam dropped onto dirt ?
Into a dumpster ? Onto grass ? Concrete ? Styrofoam ? Mud ? The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.
I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher. It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.
A device that does work with one movement and changes the size or direction of a force is a simple machine.

Given
car A had a head start of 
and it starts at x=0 and t=0
Car B has to travel a distance of 
where 
is the distance travel by car A in time t
distance travel by car A is
For car B with speed 
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.
Answer:
a. λ = 647.2 nm
b. I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Given:
β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m
a.
The wavelength of the radiation can be find using
β = 2 π / γ * sin θ
λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β
λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad
λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m ⇒ λ = 647.2 nm
b.
The intensity of the central maximum I₀
I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²
I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²
I = I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
