The 700 kg piano needs to be loaded onto a truck bed which is about 1.5 m high.1.Initially, the movers decide to use an adjustable ramp to move the piano. The ramp can only be adjusted up to 10 m long and the inclination angle must not exceed 20° to ensure a safe loading process. Determine the range of a suitable length and angle of the ramp. 2.On a second thought, the movers are considering whether it is easier to lift the piano straight up onto the truck bed or push it up along the rough the ramp. With the aid of an appropriate free body diagram, justify the most efficient option for the movers to load the piano to the truck bed with constant speed.

After some research, you find two tank manufacturers that meet your requirements. From Manufacturer A, you can purchase 16-m3-capacity tanks that cost $120 each. Moreover, the type of tank requires a floor space of 7.5 m2. Manufacturer B makes 24-m3-capacity tanks that cost $240 each and that require a floor space of 10 m2. The tanks will be placed in a section of a lab that has 90 m2 of floor space available for storage. You are looking for the greatest storage capacity within the budgetary and floor-space limitations.

Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the gravitational collapse of the star and crushing atoms out of existence. Under such extreme conditions, protons and electrons are squeezed to form neutrons, giving birth to a neutron star. Neutron stars are massively heavy - a teaspoon of the substance of a neutron star would weigh 100 million metric tons on the Earth. a) Consider a neutron star whose mass is twice the mass of the Sun and whose radius is 13.3 km.
