Answer:
F = 800 [N]
Explanation:
To be able to calculate this problem we must use the principle of momentum before and after the impact of the hammer.
We must summarize that after the impact the hammer does not move, therefore its speed is zero. In this way, we can propose the following equation.
ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

where:
m₁ = mass of the hammer = 0.15 [m/s]
v₁ = velocity of the hammer = 8 [m/s]
F = force [N] (units of Newtons)
t = time = 0.0015 [s]
v₂ = velocity of the hammer after the impact = 0
![(0.15*8)-(F*0.0015) = (0.15*0)\\F*0.0015 = 0.15*8\\F = 1.2/(0.0015)\\F = 800 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%280.15%2A8%29-%28F%2A0.0015%29%20%3D%20%280.15%2A0%29%5C%5CF%2A0.0015%20%3D%200.15%2A8%5C%5CF%20%3D%201.2%2F%280.0015%29%5C%5CF%20%3D%20800%20%5BN%5D)
Note: The force is taken as negative since it is exerted by the nail on the hammer and this force is directed in the opposite direction to the movement of the hammer.
Use the density formula:
Mass of the substance
————————————
Volume of the substance
This gives you the density.
Corn syrup has a density of about 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter, and has the highest density of all liquids!
