Pedal Power A person in good physical condition can put out 95 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mechanism that drives an electric generator. Neglecting any problems of generator efficiency and practical considerations such as resting time: How many people would it take to run a 4.64–kW electric clothes dryer?

Answer:

48 people would it take to run a 4.64 kW electric clothes dryer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pedal power A
W_(1) = 95 W

Electric clothes dryer power
W_(2) = 4640 W

For finding the number of person
n equals :


n = (W_(2) )/(W_(1) )


n = (4640)/(95)


n = 48.84

Therefore, 48 people would it take to run a 4.64 kW electric clothes dryer.
