Question:

An electric lift with a maximum load of 2000 kg (lift + passengers) is moving up with a constant speed of 1.5 ms-1. The frictional force opposing the motion is 3000N. The minimum power delivered by the motor to the lift in watts is: (g =10 ms-2)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Total force needed to go at a steady speed, 
Force is equal to weight plus friction. 
F = 20,000 + 3,000 
F equals 23000. N 

Power is equal to F ⋅ V. 
= 23000 × 1.5 
P is 34500. W

The correct answer is (C).34500.

Concepts Used:

Laws of Motion

The laws of motion, which are the keystone of classical mechanics, are three statements that defined the relationships between the forces acting on a body and its motion. They were first disclosed by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

Newton’s 1st law states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion until and unless a net external force acts on it.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Newton's 2nd law of motion deals with the relation between force and acceleration. According to the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object as built by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Newton's 3rd law of motion states when a body applies a force on another body that there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action.
