Chapter 10, Problem 41TAS(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a 6.0-g steel nail 8.0 cm long and a hammer that exerts an average force of 600 N on the nail when it is being driven into a piece of wood. The nail becomes warmer. Show that the increase in the nail’s temperature is \(17.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (Assume that the specific heat capacity of steel is \(450 \quad \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).)
