Hi, this is my first post on here hope I can answer some in the future. I've finished everything except these two problems. I've got the answers except I can't figure out how to arrive at the conclusions.
1) A 4.2-kN piano is to be slid up a 3.5-m frictionless plank at a constant speed. The plank makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Calculate the work done by the sliding the piano up the plank. A: 74.103 J
I know I have to use this f=f(parallel)/angle and w=f*d but other than that I'm not too sure.
2) A car is driven at a constant speed of 76 km/h down a road. The car's engine delivers 48 kW of power. Calculate the average force that is resisting the motion of the car. A: 23000 N
This one seems too easy for me to be asking am I missing something really obvious?
Thanks for looking and hopfully you can help me, btw my test is tommorow, heh. :yuck:
