Question

Pedal Power A person in good physical condition can put out 95 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mechanism that drives an electric generator. Neglecting any problems of generator efficiency and practical considerations such as resting time: How many people would it take to run a 4.64–kW electric clothes dryer?

Answer 1

48 people would it take to run a 4.64 kW electric clothes dryer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pedal power A
`W_(1) = 95` W

Electric clothes dryer power
`W_(2) = 4640` W

For finding the number of person
`n` equals :

`n = (W_(2) )/(W_(1) )`

`n = (4640)/(95)`

`n = 48.84`

Therefore, 48 people would it take to run a 4.64 kW electric clothes dryer.
