Do you remember F= ma? Let me refresh your memory.
The "m" is mass. Let's just say 8lbs for example. The "a" is acceleration. We will use the acceleration of gravity which is 9.81 m/s (squared).
Did you know 78 Newtons worth of force could do that? Neither did I. I will be a lot more careful while exercising.
This is what happens when the mom accidentally drops an 8 lb weight on the wood floor.

The bad part is there is really no way to fix the floor. I see an area rug in our future.

Thanks for the physics lesson. My first in... well, in a long time.
An area rug will look nice. I haven't done the math, but the throwing acceleration of my 18mo old must be way past 9.81 because she can make nearly the same mark with at Thomas Train.
SO sorry. I was getting ready to hear how the boys did this...at least you didn't pass blame. Way to go for working out. I remember those good ole days.
