Homework Statement


A 100kg man climbs a vertical 10m ladder in 12s.
How much work is done by the man?
What is the man's power output?


Homework Equations


For the work I think I need
W=F.s and F=(change in momentum)/time

I've got no idea what the equation for power is though.


The Attempt at a Solution


Work = force x 10

Use Eg = mgh to find how much work the man does.
Then use mikelepore's indicated site to calculate power.
