Two ropes are used to lower a 255kg piano 5.0m from a second-story window to the ground. How much work is done by each of the 3 forces? T1 is 1830 N with angle of 60∘pointing to the upper left, T2 is 1295N and has angle of 45∘and pointing to the upper right corner. The w is pointing downwards with a force of 2500N.
The answers are: T1= -7920J and T2 = -4580J
I understand how to find the work for the downward force, it is 12500J, but i`m not certain about the other two tensions. Please help if you can!
My calculation for T1 was:
T1 = -12500J + [(1830N cos 60)(5.0m)]
= -7925 J
The answers are: T1= -7920J and T2 = -4580J
