A chairlift rises in elevation 600 m (about 2000 ft) up a ski slope and has a total of 200 chairs evenly spaced every 12 m (about 40 ft) apart. On a busy weekend, the ski lift is at full capacity (two people per seat), and skiers come off the lift every 10 s. Assuming a skier has a mass of 80 kg (including clothes and equipment) on average, what is the power output required for the ski lift to operate?
