    Force needed to lift the object = (mass) (gravity)

    = (63 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 617.4 Newtons

    Work = (force) x (height)

    = (617.4 N) (7 m) = 4,321.8 joules

    Rate required to get it done in 5 sec = (4,321.8 J) / (5 sec)

    = 864.4 watts

    1 HP = 746 watts

    (864.4 watts) x (1 HP / 746 watts) = 1.159 HP.

    Choice (d) looks encouraging.
