A man pushes on piano with mass 170 kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 20.0 ∘ above the horizontal floor. Neglect any friction acting on the piano.

Answer

given,                            

mass of the piano = 170 kg              

angle of the inclination = 20°                

moves with constant velocity hence acceleration = 0 m/s²    

neglecting friction                                  

so, force required to pull the piano                    

F = m g sin θ                                                      

F = 170 × 9.81 × sin 20°                                        

F = 570.39 N                                                    

so, force required by the man to push the piano is F = 570.39 N
