    56 W

    Explanation:

    Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done. The S. I unit of power is Watt (W). The Formula of power is given as,

    P = W/t

    or

    P = mgh/t ... Equation 1

    Where P = power, m = mass of the woman, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

    Given: m = 60 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 4.0 m, t = 4.2 s.

    Substitute into equation 1

    P = 60 (4) (9.8) / 4.2

    P = 235.2/4.2

    P = 56 W.

    Hence the average power supplied by the woman = 56 W
