This is based on the Impulse-Momentum Theorem

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem states that #m\Deltav=f\Deltat#

In this case, you first need to convert from pounds to kg. So 4004 lbs = 1816.2kg at 2.2lb/kg

Then, #1816.2kg*33m/s=59934.6Ns# (Newton seconds)

This will equal -1650N* #\Deltat#

So, #\frac{59934.6}{-1650}=\Deltat#

You can calculate from there. The force is negative the braking is opposing the motion. Time of course will be positive.
