Question:
A piece of wood with mass m = 2.4 kg is held in a vise sandwiched between two wooden jaws as shown in Figure P4.68. A blow from a hammer drives a nail that exerts a force of 450 N on the wood. If the coefficient of static friction between the wood surfaces is 0.67, what minimum normal force must each jaw of the vise exert on the wood block to hold the block in place?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
