Question:
A grand piano with three legs has a mass of 350 kg and is at rest on a level floor.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram for the piano. Show the force of the floor on each leg as a separate force in your diagram. Assume the weight of the piano is distributed equally among the three legs.
(b) What is the total force of the piano on the floor?
Step by Step Answer:
Since the piano is not accelerating the sum of forces must be zero See Figure Ans332 Newtons se...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
