Help?

A 1150 Kg wrecking ball is released from a height 13.0 meters above its resting point and hits a wall at the lowest point of its swing. If the ball makes a .5 meter indentation in the wall, what is the average force the ball applies to the wall? Assume that the ball uses all of its mechanical energy to do work on the wall.

Not asking for the answer, if you could show me how to do it, that would be helpful. :)
