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.
The motor delivers 10 hp to the shaft. If it rotates at 1200 rpm, determine the torque produced by the motor.
Determine the power input for a motor necessary to lift 280 lb at a constant rate of 6 ft/s. The efficiency of the motor is ϵ = 0.65.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
