A Hammer weighing 3kg strikes the head of a nail with a speed of 2m/s and drives it by 1cm into the wall. find the impulse?
Asked Sree

Impulse is the product of force an time. Impulse of a force is also equal to the change in momentum produce. (Impulse Momentum Principle)

Here change in momentum is equal to 3kg x 2m/s = 6 kg m/s
(if we assume that the hammer does not bounce off after striking the nail)
