W3. A hammerhead with mass
1000[kg]is released from rest and allowed to slide down a pair of rails. The rails exert a total friction force of magnitude 100 [N]. The hammerhead falls
10[m]from Point 1 to Point 2 before hitting an I-beam, driving it further into the ground to its final resting place at Point
3,0.75[m]below Point 2. A) Calculate the speed of the hammerhead at Point 2. (+5 pts). B) Calculate the magnitude of the force of the hammerhead on the I-beam once contact is initiated. (+5 pts)
