    Power is the amount of work done over a period of time. The formula would then be:

    P = W/t

    However, work was not given in your problem but it can be easily solved with the given.

    Work can be solved using the formula:

    W = Fd

    Where:

    F = force

    d = distance

    W = work

    So now let's solve for work:

    Given:

    F = 65N

    d = 4.1m

    W = Fd

    = (65N) (4.1m)

    = 266.5J

    Now that we have work, we can solve for power:

    Given: W = 266.5J

    t = 5 s

    P = W/t

    = (266.5J) / (5s)

    =53.30W

    The machine produced 53.30W of power.
