Answer:

B. 17.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that

Time = 10 seconds

height = distance = 0.7 meters

weight of sack = mg = F = 245 newtons

Power = work done/ time taken

Where work done = force × distance

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Work done = 245 newton × 0.7 meters

Work done = 171.5 J

Recall,

Power = work done/time

Power = 171.5 J ÷ 10

Power = 17.15 watts

Hence the power expended is B. 17.15 watts

Answer:

B 17.15 watts
