把 used to change the position of something - 1
It means that Noun1 changes the position of Noun2 via an action such as 搬, 送, 扔 or 放, etc.
Since there is a change in position, the verb must be followed by a word such as 在, 到, 上, 进, 回. Since Noun2 has finally been moved to a place, the noun such as 桌子, 水 or 电视 must be followed by a noun of localities such as 上(上面), 里(里面) or 中 to indicate the place.
