Problem

A person walks up a stalled 15 m15\text{ m} long escalator in 90 s90\text{ s}. When standing on the same escalator, now moving, the person is carried up in 60 s60\text{ s}. How much time would it take that person to walk up the moving escalator? Does the answer depend on the length of the escalator?
