Answer:
Work done, W = 5534.53 J
Explanation:
It is given that,
Force acting on the piano, F = 6157 N
It is pushed up a distance of 2.41 m friction less plank.
Let W is the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate. It is given by :
Since, (in vertical direction)
W = 5534.53 J
So, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank is 5534.53 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass if the rock, m = 1 kg
It is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meter stick at the 0-cm mark so that the meter stick barely balances like a seesaw when its fulcrum is at the 12.5-cm mark.
We need to find the mass of the meter stick. The force acting by the stone is
F = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N
Let W be the weight of the meter stick. If the net torque is zero on the stick then the stick does not move and it remains in equilibrium condition. So, taking torque about the pivot.
W = 3.266 N
The mass of the meters stick is :
So, the mass of the meter stick is 0.333 kg.
