Please explain why the angles 60, 45 weren't used in the final calculations. I want to understand why and how to know when and where an angle switch is appropriate and correct. Thank you.
Correct answer is shown Your answer 12750 J was either rounded differently or used a different number of figures than required for this part.
Correct answer is shown Your answer 8082.6 J was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part.
Correct answer is shown Your answer -4670 J was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part.
SOLVE: Model the piano as a particle and use W = F * d, where W is the work done by the force F through the displacement d. For the force Fc: W = F * d = Fc * d = Fc * cos(0) = 255 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 5.10 m * 1.00 = 1.3 x 10^4 J. For the tension T: W = F * d = TF * d = TF * cos(150) = 1830 N * 5.10 m * -0.8660 = -8100 J. For the tension T: W = F * d = TF * d = TF * cos(135) = 1295 N * 5.10 m * -0.7071 = -4700 J.
