Asked by BA

A 400 kg baby grand piano is raised to the roof of a 100 m building. If the cable breaks as it reaches this height, what will its velocity be the instant prior to impact? Use energy considerations and verify using kinematics.

Answered by Elena
(a) using dynamics
mgh=mv²/2
v=sqrt(2gh)
(b) using kinenatics
h=gt²/2 =>sqrt(2h/g)
v=gt=gsqrt(2h/g)=sqrt(2gh)
