Making rough visual estimates just based on the picture on the right, presume Thor's hammer is a 10cmX10cmX30cm cube held by a 60cm rod. Assume a heroic mass of 20kg for the hammer and 5kg for the rod. On the picture on the left, Thor is swinging the hammer in a vertical plane at the heroic speed of 3delta.deltadeltadelta rad/s. At the instant the hammer head is 20 degrees from the horizontal, determine the forces exerted on Thor's hand by Mjolnir.
