A hammer is being used to pull a nail from a board. The applied force is F = 140.0 N. However, this force is not enough to remove the nail. So, the hammer is not moving but can pivot about the black dot. The hammer itself weighs 7.00 Newtons. The coordinates of the hammer's center of mass are given relative to an origin at the pivot point. The drawing is to scale. The distance between adjacent concentric circles is 1.00 cm. Calculate the magnitude of the force the nail exerts on the hammer's claw. Answer: 743 N. 5 cm F CM: (3 cm, 8 cm)
