Question

A boy weighing 50 kg runs up staircase of 40 steps, each of 16 height cm in 10s calculate his power

Answer 1

Given, mass of body, m = 50 kg

h = 45 x15 = 675 cm = 6.75 m

t = 9 s, g = 10 m

PE = mgh = 50 x 10 x 6.75 = 3375 J

Power of the body = PE / time = Energy / time = 3375 / 9 = 375 W
