omi was on vacation and went to scale Mt. Banahaw. Her weight at the base of the mountain is 540 N; on p she weighs 539.5 N. Note that the gravity acceleration decreases about 0.373 cm/s² for each 1000 m cent. Determine the height in m of a point above the base where her weight decreases by 2.375%.

A skier starts at rest at the top of a large hemispherical hill (Fig. P7.63). Neglecting friction, show that the skier will leave the hill and become airborne at a distance h = R/3 below the top of the hill. Hint: At this point, the normal force goes to zero. Figure P7.63
In building a house, carpenters use nails from a large box. The box is suspended from a spring twice dining 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 percentages of the nails have been used?
