A man whose mass is 80kg climbs a staircase in 20s and expends power of 120W. Find the height of the staircase.[g = 10ms-2]
A
1.8m
B
2.0m
C
2.5m
D
3.0m
correct option: d
Power x time = mgh

120 x 20 = 80 x 10 x h

2400 = 800h

making h the subject of formula,divide both side by 800

\(\frac{2400}{800}\) = h

h = 3m
