QUESTION 12 In a classroom demonstration, a 73.5-kg physics professor lies on a "bed of nails." The bed consists of a large number of evenly spaced, relatively sharp nails mounted in a board so that the points extend vertically outward from the board. While the professor is lying down, approximately 1900 nails make contact with his body. What is the average force (in N) exerted by each nail on the professor's body? QUESTION 13 The binding energy of an isotope of chlorine is 298 MeV. What is the mass defect of this chlorine nucleus in atomic mass units (u)? QUESTION NG 207 Pb has a mass of 3.4368- 1025 kg What is the approximate density of this lead nucleus? 82 1:19

A 90-m wire is suspended between two points at the same elevation that are 60 m apart. Knowing that the maximum tension is 300 N, determine (a) the sag of the wire, (b) the total mass of the wire.
A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cables fastened to a support as in 5.11a. The upper cables make angles of θ1 = 37.0° and θ2 = 53.0° with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the vertical cable and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. Does the traffic light remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break?
