Calculating Constant speed of an Elevator Rising

[Millacol88]

Homework Statement

The motor for an elevator can produce 14kW of power. The elevator has a mass of 1100 kg, including its contents. At what constant speed will the elevator rise?

Homework Equations

I'm not really sure. Probably Gravitational potential = mgh. Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2 because its looking for speed.

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm really not sure. It doesn't seem like enough information is given to solve for anything. There's probably some algebraic manipulation I'm missing.
