A piano technician slides a Steinway grand piano across a level floor at Carnegie Hall. The piano has a mass of 490 kg.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram, and calculate the normal force supporting the piano.
(b) If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the piano is 0.35, calculate the minimum amount of force needed to get the piano to move.
(c) Once the piano is moving, a horizontal force of 1.1 x 10²N is necessary to keep it moving at a constant speed. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction.

In a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina. what should be the radius of curvature of the cornea such that the image of an object 40.0 cm from the cornea’s vertex is focused on the retina?

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
