Answer:
(a) 441 W (b) 0.59 hP
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a woman, m = 60 kg
Height of a staircase, h = 15 m
Time, t = 20 s
(a) We need to find the power she expend. Work done per unit time is called power. It is given by :
[tex]P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{60\times 9.8\times 15}{20}\\\\P=441\ W[/tex]
( b) Since, 1 hP = 745.7 W
P = 0.59 hP
