An escalator is used to move 25 passengers in 15 seconds from the first floor of a building to the third. The third floor is located 11.20 m above the second floor. The average passenger's mass is 50 kg. Determine the required power of the escalator in order to move this number of passengers. Solution:
Added by Gerald R.
Step 1
Given that the average mass of each passenger is 50 kg and there are 25 passengers, the total mass \( M \) is: \[ M = 25 \times 50 \, \text{kg} = 1250 \, \text{kg} \] Show more…
