Question

The number of people that can be safely carried in a lift depends on their mass. A lift will safely

carry 8 people with an average mass of 75 kg. How many people with an average mass of
100kg can safely travel in the lift?

Pls pls explain it with working (worry for exam) guys it’s maths not physics

Answer 1

Explanation:

If a lift will carry 8 people safely with an average mass of 75kg each we multiply to find the weight the lift can safely carry.

8 x 75kg = 600kg

If the average mass of the people is 100kg each, we divide to find the number of people it can carry. We know the lift can carry 600kg.

600kg/100kg = 6

So the lift can carry 6 people if their average mass is 100kg.
