A lift raises 50 passengers each having average weight \(600 \mathrm{~N}\) to a height of \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) at a constant speed in time \(t\). If the average power of \(15 \mathrm{~kW}\) is required by the lift, then the value of \(t\) in seconds is

  1. A \(150\)
  2. B \(100\)
  3. C \(300\)
  4. D \(200\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(200\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, Power \(=\frac{\text { Work done }}{\text { Time }}\) \(\Rightarrow P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{F \times s}{t}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad P=\frac{m g h}{t}\) ...(i) Here, weight of passengers \(=m g=50 \times 600 \mathrm{~N}\) height, \(h=100 \mathrm{~m}\) Power,…
