The work done will be equal to the potential energy of the piano at the final position

P.E=m.g.h

.consider the plank the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the ground
.let x be the angle with the ground=31.6°
.h be the side opposite to the angle x (h is the final height of the piano)
.let L be the length of the plank

sinx=opposite side / hypotenuse
= h/L

then h=L.sinx=3.49×sin31.6°=0.638m

weight w=m.g
m=w/g=3858/10=385.8kg

Consider Gravity g=10m/s2

then P.E.=m.g.h=385.8kg×10×0.638=2461.404J

then Work W=P.E.=2451.404J

Answer:

7055.13 J

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> identify the given parameters

  • Applied force on the piano = 3858N
  • Length of plank = 3.49m
  • angle between the plank and horizontal surface = 31.6⁰

Note: frictional force between the piano and horizontal surface is zero since the plank is frictionless.

<u>Step 2:</u> work done in sliding the piano up the plank = applied force X distance moved by the piano.

The distance moved by the piano is equal to the height above ground when the piano reach top of the plank.

  • make a sketch of right angle triangle
  • length of the plank is the hypotenuse side
  • angle between the hypotenuse and the horizontal is 31.6⁰
  • height of the triangle is the height above ground , let it be the unknown  

Height of the triangle = 3.49m X sine31.6⁰

Height of the triangle = 1.8287m

Recall, height of the triangle is the height above ground which is equal to the distance moved by the piano

work done in sliding the piano up the plank = applied force X distance moved by the piano.

work done in sliding the piano up the plank = 3858N X 1.8287M

                                                                           = 7055.13 J

White raven [17]

The velocity of the submarine immediately after firing the missile is 0.0104 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the submarine M=50 tonne=50\times 1000=50000kg

Mass of the missile m=40  kg

velocity of the missile v= 13m/s

we have to calculate the velocity of the submarine after firing

This is the recoil velocity and its expression is derived from the law of conservation of momentum

recoil velocity of the submarine

V=-mv/M\\=-40\times 13/50000\\=0.0104 m/s

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.
