Answer:

P = 147,75 W

Explanation:

A man whose mass is 59.1kg climbs up 30 steps of a stair each step is 25 cm high

Height at 30 steps , h=30×2.5= 7.5 m

Change in potential energy , =mgh=59.1×10×7.5 = 4432.5 J

So, Work done by the man , W= 4432.5J

Power used , P= $\frac{W}{T}$

P = 4432.5 /30

P = 147,75 W
