The total work done is 5980 Joules and the power expended is 57 Watts.

The work done is the work done in the gravitational field as the bucket is raised up Thus work required to remove the bucket Wb;

Wb = 13.9 kg * 25.9 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3530 Joules

Height of the center of mass of chain = 25.9 / 2 = 12.95 m

Work done by the chain Wc;

Wc = 12.95 * 19.3 * 9.8 = 2450 Joules

Total work = 3530 + 2450 = 5980 Joules

Power expended = W / t = 5980 J / 105 sec = 57 J/s = 57 Watts
