Homework Statement
If a ski lift raises 100 passengers averaging 668 N in weight to a height of 175 m in 60 s, at constant speed, what average power is required of the force making the lift?
Homework Equations
P_instantaneous=Fv
P=W/t
W=Fd
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to solve this by first using W=fd to find W...so 668/175=3.817
I then used P=W/t so 3.817/60
however this answer was wrong...what am I doing wrong?
