Answer:

160 watts.

Explanation:

Remark

Power = Work / Time

Work = F * d

Note: Since he is running up stairs he is doing work against gravity.

Givens

  • m = 50000 g   kg / 1000 grms
  • m = 50000 / 1000 = 50 kg
  • h = 4 m
  • time = 12.5 seconds
  • g = 10 m/s^2

Formula

  • P = W * d/t
  • W = m*g *d / t

Solution

  • P = 50kg * 10 m/s^2 * 4 m / 12.5
  • P = 160 watts.
