A 90 kg load is lifted 6.0 m using an ideal block-and-tackle with mechanical advantage 2, so the rope tension is T=mg2T=\tfrac{mg}{2} while the load rises at constant speed. Because two rope segments support the load, the free end of the rope must be pulled 12 m to raise the load 6.0 m. The pull takes 8.0 s, and friction is negligible. Use g=9.8m/s2g=9.8\,\text{m/s}^2. In the given system, what is the average power output of the system described?
