Answer #1

by the energy coservation law work done by escalator on you = mgh

where m is mass

g is garvity

h is height from lower level to upper level

so in first part

in work done the up escalator do on you = +mgh = 66*9.8*4.5= 2910.6J

in second part

escalator going down mean work don on escaltor so work done is negative = -mgh=-66*9.8*4.5= -2910.6J
