1). Work = (force) x (distance)

Work = (3,000 newtons) x (35 meters) = 105,000 newton-meters = 105,000 joules

2). Power = (work) / (time)

Power = (105,000 joules) / (90 seconds)
= 1,166-2/3 joules per second = 1,166 and 2/3 watts .

Note:
That's no ordinary man.
1,166 watts is the same as roughly 1.6 horsepower.
Not too many people can sustain 1 horsepower or more for 90 seconds.
