Hammering a nail into wood makes it get hotter. Consider a 5-g long, 5-gauge steel nail and a hammer that exerts an average force of 500 N on the nail when it is introduced to a piece of wood.
The nail gets warmer each time. Demonstrate that the increase in the temperature of the nail is 13.3 ° C. (Suppose the specific heat of the steel is
450 J / kg * ° C)
