- The figure below shows a claw hammer being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board where ? = 27.3°. The mass of the hammer is 1.00 kg. A force of 165 N is exerted horizontally as shown, and the nail does not yet move relative to the board. Assume the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail. A hand uses a hammer to pull a nail out of the ground. The head of the hammer is curved and touches the ground at a single point of contact at the center of the head. The nail in the ground makes an acute angle ? clockwise from the vertical. The nail is hooked in the hammer claw 5.00 cm horizontally to the left of the hammer head's point of contact to the ground.
