15-1. A hammer head H having a weight of 0.3 lb is moving downwards at 40 ft/s when it strikes the head of a nail of negligible mass and drives it into a block of wood. Find the impulse on the nail if it is assumed that the grip at A is loose, the handle has a negligible mass, and the hammer stays in contact with the nail while it comes to rest. 40 ft/s

**1S-1.**

**Problem Description:**

A hammer head \( H \) having a weight of 0.3 lb is moving downwards at 40 ft/s when it strikes the head of a nail of negligible mass and drives it into a block of wood. Find the impulse on the nail if it is assumed that the grip at \( A \) is loose, the handle has a negligible mass, and the hammer stays in contact with the nail while it comes to rest.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image depicts a hammer being held at point \( A \) on the handle, striking a nail vertically downward. The hammer head \( H \) is shown moving at a velocity of 40 ft/s towards the nail embedded in a block of wood.
