A person takes t1 second on the stationary escalator


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 372 People


A person takes T1 second on the stationary escalator to cover some distance. The person takes T2 second in the moving escalator to cover same distance by same velocity. If the person is at rest on the escalator then time taken by him to cover same distance is?

Answered by admin @



Let L be the distance or length from the ground to top of escalator.

Velocity of man by walk = Vman=speed /distance =L/T1

Velocity of man with respect to escalator: VMe=L/T2

Veloicity of escalotor w.r.t man= -Vme =-L/T2

Velcoty of escalator= Velocity of Man + Velocity of escalotor w.r.t man.
L/T= L/T1-L/T2
1/T=1/T1-1/T2

1/T=T2-T1/T1T2
T=T1T2/T2-T1

∴Time taken to reach same distance
=T1T2/(T2-T1 )
