Answer:

Power generate by generator = 265 W (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of student = 62 kg

Height of stairs = 3.4 meter

Time taken = 7 second

Find:

Power generate by generator

Computation:

Power = Force x [Distance / Time]

Power = [Mass x gravitational acceleration] x [Distance / Time]

Power = [62 x 9.8][3.4/7]

Power = [607.6][3.4/7]

Power = 265.12

Power generate by generator = 265.12

Power generate by generator = 265 W (Approx.)
