The piano is a large and versatile stringed musical instrument. The full name is ‘pianoforte’ meaning ‘soft-loud’.

The concert grand piano has a keyboard with 88 keys, each of which, when depressed, sets a mechanism in motion, resulting in a felt-covered hammer hitting strings and causing them to vibrate.

The pianist has control over whether notes are sounded loudly or softly depending on how hard he or she presses the key.

When the key is pressed, the lever body lifts and rotates, causing the jack to lift the hammer. When the jack hits the regulating rail (not shown), it rotates relative to the lever body and the hammer continues upwards without being pushed, hitting the string whilst moving freely.

A grand piano has three pedals; the left pedal moves the hammers relative to the strings so that the notes are played more softly; the right pedal lifts the dampers from all the strings; the center pedal causes any dampers that are already lifted by the player’s keystrokes to remain in the up position as long as the pedal is down.

The soundboard of the piano is a curved board that goes across the width of the piano under the strings. Its purpose is to

A system of pulleys is a simple machine for changing the direction of a force and/or gaining mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the size of the load divided by the size of the applied force.

In the simplest case, a single pulley can allow a horizontal force to support or raise a load. Assuming that friction in the system is negligible, the load can be supported or raised by a force F equal to the weight W of the load. The tension T is assumed to be constant throughout the length of the rope and all pulleys and ropes are assumed to be light and smooth.

The piano is a large and versatile stringed musical instrument. The full name is ‘pianoforte’ meaning ‘soft-loud’.

The concert grand piano has a keyboard with 88 keys, each of which, when depressed, sets a mechanism in motion, resulting in a felt-covered hammer hitting strings and causing them to vibrate.

The pianist has control over whether notes are sounded loudly or softly depending on how hard he or she presses the key.

When the key is pressed, the lever body lifts and rotates, causing the jack to lift the hammer. When the jack hits the regulating rail (not shown), it rotates relative to the lever body and the hammer continues upwards without being pushed, hitting the string whilst moving freely.

A grand piano has three pedals; the left pedal moves the hammers relative to the strings so that the notes are played more softly; the right pedal lifts the dampers from all the strings; the center pedal causes any dampers that are already lifted by the player’s keystrokes to remain in the up position as long as the pedal is down.

When the hammer hits the strings, the energy transfer sequence relevant to the sounding of the note is

Organic compounds are molecules that frequently contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen joined together by covalent bonds.

As the number of bonds to oxygen atoms increases in a carbon chain, the overall molecule is increasingly oxidized. For example, aldehydes are more oxidized than alcohols, which are more oxidized than alkanes as shown in Table 1.

The melting points and viscosities of these compounds are listed in Table 2 and Table 3 respectively.

A system of pulleys is a simple machine for changing the direction of a force and/or gaining mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the size of the load divided by the size of the applied force.

In the simplest case, a single pulley can allow a horizontal force to support or raise a load. Assuming that friction in the system is negligible, the load can be supported or raised by a force F equal to the weight W of the load. The tension T is assumed to be constant throughout the length of the rope and all pulleys and ropes are assumed to be light and smooth.

In order to raise the load by a distance h the point X must be moved to the right a distance equal to
