    392 W.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Mass, m = 60 kg

    Height, h = 4 m

    Time, t = 6 s

    Power = energy/time

    Energy = mass * acceleration * distance

    Power = (60 * 9.8 * 4) / 6

    = 392 W.

    400watts

    Explanation:

    Power is defined as the amount of energy expended in a specific time. It is also defined as the change in work done with respect to time.

    Mathematically,

    Power = Workdone/time

    Work done = Force*distance

    Power = Force * Distance/Time

    Given force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

    Force = 60*10 = 600N

    Distance covered = 4.0m

    Time taken = 6.0seconds

    Power expended = 600*4/6

    Power expended = 400Watts

    The average mechanical power (in W) required to do this is 400Watts
