Answer:
a. 652.68N
b. -2349.65J
c. -3116.12J
d. 5465.77J
e. Zero
Explanation:
a. According to equilibrium of forces, the force of gravity is equal to the sum of the frictional force and force exerted by the man in the opposite direction (since they're both resistant forces).
Fg = Fm + Fr
Fm = Fg - Fr
Fm = mgsin(28°) - umgcos(28°)
u = coefficient of frictional force.
Fm = 330*9.8*sin28 - 0.4*330*9.8*cos28
Fm = 1518.27 - 865.59
Fm = 652.68N
b. Work done by man is:
Wm = -Fm * d
Wm = -652.68 * 3.6
Wm = -2349.65J
c. Work done by friction force:
W(Fr) = -Fr * d
W(Fr) = -865.59 * 3.6
W(Fr) = -3116.12J
d. Work done by gravity:
Wg = Fg * d
Wg = 1518.27 * 3. 6
Wg = 5465.77J
e. Net work done on the piano is:
Work done by friction + work done by gravity + work done by man
= -3116.12 + 5464.77 + (-2349.65)
= 0J
Answer:
2. The metal surface exerts less frictional force because there are fewer bumps and irregularities on it than there are on the concrete.
Explanation:
Frictional force is a force that is exerted between two surfaces in contact with each other. Frictional force always opposes the direction of relative motion of the two surfaces: for instance, for a ball moving along a surface, the force of friction exerted by the surface on the ball points opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.
The magnitude of the frictional force for a ball moving on a flat surface is given by
where
is the coefficient of friction
m is the mass of the ball
g is the acceleration of gravity
The value of depends on the type of surface involved. In particular, a smooth surface has a smaller value of
, while a rough surface will have a bigger value. In this case, we are comparing a smooth metal surface with concrete: since the metal surface has fewer bumps and irregularities than concrete, it has a smaller value of coefficient of friction, so it exerts less frictional force than concrete.
