Escalator steps move with a constant speed of 0.6 m/s. If the steps are 125 mm high and 250 mm in length, determine the power of a motor needed to lift an average mass of 150 kg per step. There are 32 steps. if the escalator is not moving, determine the constant speed at which a man having a mass of 80 kg must walk up the steps to generate 100W of power-the same amount that is needed to power a standard light bulb.
