Answer:

71.67 Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that power is the amount of work that is done per unit of time.

The Power formula is


P=(W)/(t)

W= work (Jules)

t= time (seconds)

The unit of power is watts


[P]= (J)/(s)= Watts

Before applying the formula, we must pass the minutes to seconds so that it is expressed in the correct units.


3 min.(60s)/(1min)= 180s


P=(12900J)/(180s)


P= 71.67 Watts
