    3. 560W

    Explanation:

    First we calculate the work required for the 700N weigh student to climb up by 8 meters. Work is force times distance

    W = Fs = 700 * 8 = 5600J

    The average power is defined as the rate of energy expended over a unit of time. In order words, work divided by time duration

    P = W/t = 5600 / 10 = 560 W
