Q109 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 1) · Physics

An electric lift with a maximum load of 2000 kg (lift + passengers) is moving up with a constant speed of 1.5 m s-1. The frictional force opposing the motion is 3000 N. The minimum power delivered by the motor to the lift in watts is : g=10 m s-2

  • A
    20000
  • Correct answer
    B
    34500
  • C
    23500
  • D
    23000

Solution

Figure

Since the speed is constant the motor has to give equal and opposite upward force.

∴   F=3000N+2000×10 =23000 N

P=FV=23000×1.5 =34500 W

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
