Solution

The correct option is A

1960W


Step 1. Given data,

Mass=240kgheight=2.5mTime=3s

Assuming g=9.8m/s2

Step 2. Finding average power

Average power =Totalenergyconsumedtotaltimetaken

average power =m×g×ht

average power =240kg×9.8m/s2×2.53sec

average power =5880J3s

average power =1960W

Thus, a weight lifter lifts 240kg from the ground to a height of 2.5m in 3 second his average power is 1960W. Hence option ‘a’ is correct.
