Figures (a), (b), (c) and (d) show variation of force with time.
The impulse is highest in figure.
To compare impulses, remember one key idea:
Impulse = area under the F-t graph
Now evaluate each figure based on its shape and dimensions:
For graph a
This is a triangle with $$base\ 1s\ and\ hieght\ 0.5N$$.
Area (impulse) =
$$\frac{1}{2}\times\ 1\times\ 0.5=0.25N$$
For graph B
This is a rectangle with constant force $$0.5N\ \ for\ a\ time\ of\ 2s$$.
Area (impulse) =
$$0.5\times\ 2\ =1N$$
For graph C
Triangle with base 1 s and height 0.75 N
Area =
$$\frac{1}{2}\times\ 1\times\ 0.75=0.375N$$
For graph D
Triangle with base 2 s and height 0.5
Area =$$\frac{1}{2}\times\ 2\times\ 0.5=0.5N$$
Therefore from this we can conclude that fig(b) has the highest impulse
