Nail tips exert tremendous pressures when they are hit by hammers because they exert a large force over a small area. What force (in N) must be exerted on a nail with a circular tip of 1.45 mm diameter to create a pressure of 2.33 ✕ 109 N/m2? (This high pressure is possible because the hammer striking the nail is brought to rest in such a short distance.)

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?
