    Power=Work/time.

    In this case Work=increase in potential energy.

    Supposing he was initially on the floor, W=mgh=45*9.8*3.2=1411.2 J.

    Therefore

    Power=1411.2/2=705.6≈706 W.

    Power = work done/time. Work done by gravity = mgh = 45x9.8x3.2 = 1411.2J. Therefore, power = 1411.2/2 = 705.6 ~ 706W.
