Here's why:
* The John Hancock Center has 94 floors, and the observation deck is on the 94th floor.
* The elevators travel at a speed of about 1,400 feet per minute.
* The building is approximately 1,127 feet tall.
So, to calculate the time:
1. Distance: 1127 feet
2. Speed: 1400 feet/minute
3. Time: Distance/Speed = 1127 feet / 1400 feet/minute = 0.805 minutes
4. Convert to seconds: 0.805 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 48.3 seconds
5. Total time: Approximately 1 minute and 48 seconds.
This is an estimated time, and the actual travel time may vary slightly depending on factors like the number of people in the elevator and any delays.
