In a physical fitness program,a woman who weighs 510 N runs up four flights of stairs in 22 s.Each flight rises 3.1 m.(1 hp = 746 W) (a)What is her total change in potential energy? (b)What was the minimum average power (in watts)that she expended during the 22 s? (c)What horsepower motor would be required to generate the same power?
