An elevator carrying a maximum load of 1800 kg (elevator + passengers) is movingup with a constant speed of 2 ms^-1. The frictional force opposing the motion is4000 N. Determine the minimum power delivered by the motor to the elevator.(Take g = 10 m/s^2) |

Answer» Answer: 43280 Watt Explanation: elevator MOVES UPWARD HENCE frictional force OPPOSE their motion in downward. so, net force act on elevator =mg+F because mg is act downward and F (frictional force) act also downward. Fnet=(1800 x 9.8+4000) N =(17640+4000)N=21640N now power =Fnet x speed =21640 x 2=43280 watt |
