Two ropes are used to lower a 255 kg piano 5.30 m from a second-story window to the ground. How much work is done by T1, T2, and B (in Joules)?

Info about these forces [T1 and T2 are on opposite sides].
T1 has a force of 1830 N and is 60º above horizontal.
T2 has a force of 1295 N and is 45º above horizontal.
B has a vertical force of 2500 N.

Absolutely ANYTHING will help. Thanks!

You need to consider the product of the tension, and the distance moved ALONG the direction of the tension.
Work done by T1: -1830N*5.30m*sin 60º = -8400J
Work done by T1: -1295N*5.30m*sin 45º = -4853J
Work done by B: 2500N*5.30m*sin 90º = 13.250 kJ
