JEE Main 2020Motion In One Dimension Question with Solution

JEE Main 2020 (07 Jan Shift 2)

Question

An elevator in a building can carry a maximum of 10 persons, with the average mass of each person being 68 kg . The mass of the elevator itself is 920 kg and it moves with a constant speed of 3 m/s . The frictional force opposing the motion is 6000 N . If the elevator is moving up with its full capacity, the power delivered by the motor to the elevator g=10m/s2 must be at least:

Correct answer
D66000W

Step-by-step explanation

Net force on motor will be
Fm=920+6810g+6000
=22000 N
So, required power for motor
Pm=Fm.v
=22000×3
=66000 watt
