Answer

$6\space N$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. We can write, Change in momentum of ice ball $=\Delta m\vec V= m(V-u)$ $\Delta m\vec V= 0.3kg\times(0-10)m/s= -3\space kgm/s$ So we can write, The change in momentum of the window = 3 kgm/s in one collision. But there are two collisions during one second on the wall. $F=\frac{\Delta m\vec V}{\Delta t}= 2\times\frac{3kgm/s}{s}=6\space kgm/s^{2}$ Average force exerted on the window = 6N
