You and your friends push a 400 kg piano across a hardwood floor at a constant speed. You all push it at a 30° angle below the horizontal. You and your friends expand a steady 2500 W for 10 s. If the coefficient of friction between the piano and the floor is 0.2, how far are you able to push the piano?
