An elevator has mass 540 kg , not including passengers. The elevator is designed to ascend, at constant speed, a vertical distance of 22.0 m (five floors) in 15.2 s , and it is driven by a motor that can provide up to 45 hp to the elevator. What is the maximum number of passengers that can ride in the elevator? Assume that an average passenger has mass 65.0 kg.
