it is shown a usage of もの that says as follows.

それに相当する 特定の語について、その状態に達している、その状態に相当することを表します。

However, I don't quite understand the examples associated with this usage
(sentences 6-8).

（６） 子供が大怪我しちゃって、一時は本当に冷や汗ものだった。

（７） エイズを治療する薬が開発されたらノーベル賞ものだ。

（８） 「簡単に儲けられますよ」という眉唾ものの投資話には騙されないようにしましょう。

While in sentence 7, I think ものだ can be understood as "to deserve (a Nobel
prize)", **I don't understand the function of もの in sentences 6 and 8. What
kind of nuance does もの give to 冷や汗 and to 眉唾?**

Also, if possible, **could you please give me other examples with もの with the
usage それに相当する (to correspond, to be equivalent to)?**

Usage and examples of もの（それに相当する）
The もの adds exactly the nuance of '相当する', i.e., something that is equivalent
to the thing but not the thing itself. E.g. ノーベル賞もの says it _deserves_ a Nobel
prize, and doesn't say that a Nobel prize is actually awarded.

A translation that comes to my mind is _that could lead to_ , even if not very
idiomatic in English.

  * 冷や汗もの： something that would make you (could lead to) cold sweat
  * ノーベル賞もの： something that could result in a Nobel prize
  * 眉唾もの：something that would make you [眉に唾をつける](https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9C%89%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%B0)

Instances that come off the top of my head are:

  * 噴飯もの： _absurd_. (thing that makes you laugh and spit up things in the mouth)
  * 表彰もの： _award-worthy_
  * 懲罰もの： _a thing that potentially results in a punishment_ (E.g., 三日も遅刻したら懲罰ものだ）
