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
Which of the following is it though...?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This can be explained by the special theory of relativity for length contraction.
Length contraction is observed in the direction of motion of an object when an object moves with speed closer to the speed of light.
The length of the rocket in this case, appears shorter to the observer on earth in the stationary reference frame which is improper frame whereas the traveler in the rocket is in the same inertial frame which is proper for the rocket's size measurement.
