Solution Summary

The solution shows how to compute the time it takes to lift a piano 10 meters by a crane.

Solution Preview

The piano is lifted at constant speed, so there is no change in the kinetic energy.
However, it is lited up 10.0 meters, so the potential energy is increased by
mgh = (2.40 * 10^2) * 9.8 * 10 = 23520 J.

The energy output of the ...
