Ans :

mass= 400kg (convert mass to weight 1kg=9.81N (force of gravity on 1kg)

400x9.81=3924N
Workdone (j)= force xdistance
3924x50 =196200

Power = 196200 /24= 8175 W
convert to KW =8.175KW

Assuming that this is a cable driven lift and not a hydraulic lift, more data is required to calculate the HP required to lift the load:
Desired speed of lift
% of counterweighting
Hoisting machine eff.
acceleration rate and rate of change of acceleration rate (known as jerk rate)
Hoistway eff.
H.P. required = Speed (fpm) x capacity (lbs) x Percentage of uncounterweighted load (usually .4 to .5 / 33000) / overall eff.*
* this can actually range anywhere from 40% to 90% depending upon machine be geared or gearless, the roping type usually being 1:1 or 2:1 as well as the types of guide shoes (roller or slide).
If steep accelleration and jerk rates are required to meet a specific performance than a larger motor maybe required to meet those peak torque requirements.
To convert HP to KW, multiply the HP times .746
