(choose chapter or problem)

The worlds fastest elevator, in Taiwans Taipei 101 skyscraper (Fig. 6.18), ascends at the rate of 1010 m/min. Counterweights balance the weight of the elevator car, so the motor doesnt have to lift the cars weight. If the motor produces 330 kW of power, whats the maximum number of 67-kg people the elevator can accommodate? (Your answer somewhat overestimates the actual rated load of 24 people.)
