What would happen if I touch a +12V DC line that can supply up to 6
Amps, will I die? Or just get really hurt?

Ive only been electrocuted once, by a throwaway camera strobe flash
capacitor.

I am standing with or without shoes on a floor, my hands have normal
moisture content.

A block of wood is compressed 1.2 nm when inward forces of magnitude 103 N are applied to it on two opposite sides.

(a) What is the effective spring constant of the block? (HINT: Please use Hooke's law equation 6-19 from chapter 6 of your text book.)


(b) Assuming Hooke's law still holds, how much would the block be compressed by inward forces of magnitude 490 N?
