An elevator of mass M with a person of mass m is moving upward with uniform velocity `vecv`. What is the power delivered by the elevator?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Sine the system moves up with constant velocity, the change in KE of the system is zero. Let T be the tension in the rope of the elevator acceleration.

Therefore, `F_(n et)=T-(M+m)g=(M+m)a`
Putting `a=0`, we obtain `T=(M+m)g`.
Therefore, power delivered by the elevator is
`P=vecT*vecv=Tvcos0=Tv=(M+m)gv`
