Power – problems and solutions

1. A 50-kg person runs up the stairs 10 meters high in 2 minutes. Acceleration due to gravity (g) is 10
m/s2. Determine the power.
Known :
Mass (m) = 50 kg
Height (h) = 10 meters
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s2
Time interval (t) = 2 minute = 2 (60) = 120 seconds
Wanted : Power (P)
Solution :
Formula of power :
P=W/t
P = power, W = work, t = time

Formula of Work :
W=Fs=wh=mgh
W = work, F = force, w = weight, d = displacement, h = height, m = mass, g = acceleration due to
gravity

W = m g h = (50)(10)(10) = 5000 Joule.
