Let's break the question into two parts:
1) The force needed in Ramp scenario.
2) The effort force needed in the lever scenario.
1. Ramp Scenario: In an incline, the only component of cart's weight(
mg) that is in the direction of motion is
. Therefore the effort force in this case must be equal or greater than
.
Now we need to find

.

is the angle between the incline of the ramp and the ground.
Since the height is
5m and the length of the ramp is
8m, 
would be
5/8 or 0.625. Now that you have

, mutiple it with
mg.
=> m*g*

= 20 * 10 * 5 / 8. (Taking g = 10 m/s² for simplicity) = 125N
Therefore, the minimum Effort force you would require in this case is
125N.
2. Lever Scenario:
Just apply "moment action" in this case, which is:


= ?

= mg = 20 * 10 = 200N

= 10m

= 1m
Plug-in the values in the above equation:

= 200/10=
20NAs 20N << 125N, the best choice is to use lever.
B. A pot of boiling water represents a system that is completely open.
1). The object winds up in a different location.
2). Work is done.
Work = Force × distance
We need to calculate distance travelled.
20km/hr = 20,000m / 60min → 333.3m/ min
333.3 × 3.5 min = 1,166.6 meters travelled
Force = 700 N and distance = 1,166.6 m
Work done is 700 N × 1,666.6 = 816,620 Nm
Power output = work /time
Power output is 816, 620 Nm / (3.5 × 60sec) →816, 620 / 210 = 3,888.7
Power output is 3,888.7 Watts.
Power output can also be expressed in joules per second so it is also correct to say work done is 3,888.7 J/s
