Given data

*The given force exerted on an object is F = 12 N

*The given velocity of the object is v = 3 m/s

The formula for the power is required is given as


P=F\mathrm{}v

Substitute the known values in the above expression as


\begin{gathered} P=(12)(3) \\ =36\text{ W} \end{gathered}

Hence, the power required is P = 36 W
