Answer #2

Work done is given by the equation,

W = Force × Displacement

= F × s

Here, the force acting on the woman is,

F =

where m is the mass of the woman,g is the acceleration due to gravity and is the inclination of the escalator.

Force acting on the woman,

  

Work done,

Here, s is the height = 65.1 m

= 15158 J

A system of mass 10 kg undergoes a process during which there is no work, the elevation decreases by 50 m, and the velocity increases from 15 m/s to 50 m/s. The specific internal energy decreases by 5 kJ/kg and the acceleration of gravity is constant at 9.8 m/s2. Determine the change in kinetic energy, in kJ, and the amount of energy transfer by heat for the process, in kJ.
