Answer:

6 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is defined as

Power = Work done / time taken

Now in our case the work done is

W = F * d

For the first 6 meters, the work done is ( the area under the graph )

W = 6 * 6 = 36

Now assuming that this work was done in 6 seconds, the power delivered by the acting force is

W / t = 36 / 6 = 6 Watts

Hence the answer is 6 Watts.
