Question

A boy reaches the airport and finds that the escalator is not working. He walks up the stationary escalator in time t 1 . If he remains stationary on a moving escalator then the escalator takes him up in time t 2 . The time taken by him to walk up on the moving escalator will be:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

L = Length of escalator V b / ecc = L t 1 When only escalator is moving, V esc = L t 2 when both are moving, V b / g = V b / esc + V esc V b / g = L t 1 + L t 2 ⇒ t = L V b / g = t 1 t 2 t 1 + t 2
