Answer:s

W = - 10628.85 J

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

weight of piano (mg)= 5592 N

distance of push = 3.79 m

angle = θ = 30.1°

displacement will in opposite direction of force (mg sinθ).

displacement make an angle of Φ i.e. 180° with the force

now,

Work done = F . s cos Φ

W = m g sin θ x s x cos (180°)

W = 5592 x sin 30.1° x 3.79 x cos (180°)

W = - 5592 x sin 30.1° x 3.79

W = - 10628.85 J

negative sign shows the direction of work done.

Answer:

10628.87 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Force applied =F=5592 N


\theta=30.1^(\circ)

Displacement=D=3.79 m

We have to find the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate.

Work done=
F* displacement

The perpendicular component of force=
FSin\theta=5592sin(30.1)=2804.45N

Work done =
Fsin\theta* D=2804.45* 3.79=10628.87 J

Hence, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate=10628.87 J
