In building a house, carpenters use nails from a large box. The box is suspended from a spring twice during the day to measure the usage of nails. At the beginning of the day, the spring stretches 50 cm. At the end of the day, the spring stretches 30 cm. What fraction or percentage of the nails have been used?

A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.
A 14 kg block measures 7 cm by 9 cm by 25 cm. When it slides on a 9 cm by 25 cm face, it moves with constant speed when pulled horizontally by a force whose magnitude is 17 N. How big a horizontal force must be applied to pull it with constant speed if it slides on a 7 cm by 25 cm face?

A 65-kg person stands on a scale in a moving elevator while holding a 5.0 kg mass suspended from a massless spring with spring constant 1.10 kN/m . None of the objects in the elevator is moving relative to the elevator, but the spring is stretched by 7.0 cm. Is the elevator accelerating, and if so, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, and what is the reading of the scale on which the person stands?
I push on a wall with a force of 22.7 Newtons. My mass is 83 kilograms, and I am balancing a ball which has mass mass 10.9 kilograms. I am on a frictionless surface, but if I move the ball will drop. What is the magnitude in Newtons of the force by the wall on me? (You don't need to put the unit, just the number.)
Three masses m1 = 3.5 kg, m2 = 10.5 kg and m3 = 7 kg hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant of 228.9 N/m. the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.7 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.4 m/s^2. Find the distance of the upper spring extended from its unstretched length and the force the bottom spring exerts on the bottom mass.
A horizontal force is applied to an object weighing 392 N that causes its speed to increase uniformly from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 3 seconds. If we disregard the friction value, calculate the applied force
