A boy weighing 40 kg carries a box weighing 20 kg to the top of a building 15m high

Mass of the boy, (m1) = 40 kg
Mass of the box, (m2) = 20 kgHeight, (h) = 15 m

Acceleration due to gravity, (g) = 10 m/s2 

Time taken, (t) = 25 s Total mass of the system,

M = m1 + m2

=> M = 40 + 20 = 60 kgSo, work done by the boy is,W = mgh=> W = (60)(10)(15)=> W = 9000 JNow, we can calculate the power of the boy as,Power = `"Work done"/"Time"`So , Power = `9000/25` W

= 360 W
