Step-by-step explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is expressed as:

Power =
(work done)/(time taken)

To find the power of the man climbing the ladder, we must know the work he is doing and the duration of the work done.

Work done = force x distance

Since he climbs,

Force = weight = mg (mass x acceleration due to gravity)

distance = height = h

Power =
(mgh)/(t)

t is the time

If we know these parameters, we can find the power.
