___J
(d) Calculate the work done by the force of gravity.
___ J
(e) Calculate the net work done on the piano.
___ J
Explanation / Answer
(1) Mass : (a) 2.2 Kg Earth 2.2 Kg Planet Weight : (b) 2.2*9.8 = 21.56 N Earth 2.2*11.5 = 25.3 N Planet (2) (a) F = mg( sin - cos) = 399*9.8(sin27 - 0.4 cos27) = 3910.2[0.4539 -0.3564] = 381.24 N (b) W1 = - F S = - 381.24 * 3.7 = - 1410.6 J (c) W2 = - mg cos S = - 0.4*399*9.8*cos27*3.7 = - 5156.34 J (d) W3 = mg sin S = 399*9.8*sin27*3.7 = 6568.216 J (e) W = W1 + W2 + W3 = - 1410.6 - 5156.34 + 6568.216 = 1.276 JRelated Questions
