An elevator has a mass of 982 kg and car-
ries a maximum load of 790 kg. A constant
frictional force of 3480 N retards its motion
upward.
What power must the motor deliver at a in-
stantaneous speed of 2.1 m/s if the elevator is and the required instantaneous power is
designed to provide an upward acceleration of
0.859 m/s2 ? The acceleration due to gravity
is 9.8 m/s2 .
Answer in units of W.
Correct answer: 46972.3 W.
Explanation:
P = T v = (22367.7 N) (2.1 m/s)
= 46972.3 W .
Let : me = 982 kg ,
mℓ = 790 kg ,
f = 3480 N ,
v = 2.1 m/s ,
a = 0.859 m/s2 , and
g = 9.8 m/s2 .
