A girl of mass 45 kg walks slowly up a flight of stairs to the next floor in an
hotel. Each step is 0.24 m high and there are 25 steps. How much work does she
do against gravity? If it takes her 21 sto reach the top, what is her average power
output?
(5 marks)
On another oceasion the girl runs up the stairs in 12s. How much work does
she now do against gravity and what is her average power output?

‘The hotel has an elevator of mass 240 kg. If, instead of using the stairs, the girl
decides to take the elevator, what would be the total work done against gravity
by the elevator motor? What is the efficiency of using the elevator when it is,
being used to lift only the girl?
