A hammer of mass is moving at speed M when it strikes a nail of negligible mass that is stuck in a wooden block. The hammer is observed to drive the nail a distance L deeper into the block. Find the magnitude F of the force that the wooden block exerts on the nail, assuming that this force is independent of the depth of penetration of the nail into the wood. You may also assume that , so that the change in the hammer's gravitational potential energy, as it drives the nail into the block, is insignificant. Express the magnitude of the force in terms of M, V, and LNow evaluate the magnitude of the holding force of the wooden block on the nail by assuming that the force necessary to pull the nail out is the same as that needed to drive it in, which we just derived. Assume a relatively heavy hammer 0.5Kg (about 18 ounces), moving with speed 10m/s . Take the penetration depth L to be 2 cm, which is appropriate for one hit on a relatively heavy construction nail.

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:
