Answer:

Power, P = 218.18 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Work done by the steam engine,
$W=12\ kJ=12* 10^3\ J$

Time taken to do work, t = 55 seconds

Power produced by the engine is given by work done divided by time taken i.e.

P=(W)/(t)

$P=(12* 10^3\ J)/(55\ s)$

P = 218.18 watts

Hence, this is the required solution.
