Answer:

Power generated = 1,000W

Explanation:

Given

Mass, m= 60kg

Distance, d = 10m

Time, t = 6s

To calculate Power, First we need to get the total work done

Work done is calculated by multiplying force by distance;

Taking acceleration due to gravity as [tex]10\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]

Force = mg

Force = 60 * 10

Force = 600N

So, Work = Force * Distance

Work = 600N * 10m

Work = 6000Nm or 6000J

Power is calculated by [tex]\frac{Work}{Distance}[/tex]

By Substitution

Power = [tex]\frac{6000}{6}[/tex]

Power = 1000W
