Question

A 75-kg piano is hoisted on a crane and delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment (20 meters above ground). What is the potential energy of the piano?

Answer 1

P = 14700 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a piano, m = 75 kg

It is delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment which is 20 m above the ground.

We need to find the potential energy of the piano. It is given by :

P = mgh

Putting all the values,

P = 75 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

P = 14700 J

So, the potential energy of the piano is 14700 J.
