A 330 kg piano slides 3.6 m down a 28o incline and is kept from accelerating by a man who is pushing back on it parallel to the incline. The effective coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4. Calculate:
a. the force exerted by the man
b. the work is done by the man on the piano
c. the work is done by the friction force
d. the work is done by the force of gravity
e. the net work done on the piano.

Answer :

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
