3. An elevator has mass 600 kg, not including passengers. The elevator is designed to ascend, at constant speed, a vertical distance of 20 m (five floors) in 16 seconds, and it is driven by a motor than can provide up to 42 hp to the elevator. What is the maximum number of passengers that can ride in the elevator? Assume that an average passenger has mass 65 kg.

Ichetucknee Springs is a Florida State Park that is about 30 miles northwest of Gainesville. One of the most popular activities in the park is floating down the Ichetucknee River in an inner tube. Given that the river is about 40 feet wide, 6 miles long, and the water is 72°F, calculate the average velocity of the water (in meters/second) if it takes a tuber 3 hours to float from the launch to the exit. Then, calculate the average volumetric flow rate in (m3/second) of the water, making sure to clearly state all assumptions.
