Work done against gravity becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. Its given by:

W = Ep

W = mgh but weigh(w) = mg

W = wh

W = 350 N × 5 m

W = 1750 J

Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. This is:

P = W/t

P = 1750 J / 20 s

P = 87.5 W

P=350/300+20. P=350/320. P=35/32. P=1.09
