A spaceship of frontal area 30 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed...

A spaceship of frontal area 30 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 5 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is 3 x 10-18 kg/m3. If all the particles of dust that impact the spaceship stick to it, find the average decelerating force that the impacting particles exert on the ship. (You may assume that the mass of dust which sticks to the spacecraft is negligible compared to the mass of the spacecraft.)
