A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from theroof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising thehelicopter. An 880-kg helicopter rises from rest to a speed of 8.1m/s in a time of 3.6 s. During this time it climbs to a height of9.7 m. What is the average power generated by the liftingforce?

I looked at the solution on cramster (ch 6, problem 64) and stillcan't get the right answer. By following this comment posted by anexpert, I got F = 1980. Since W = F x distance I got W = (1980)x9.7= 19206

P = W/ t
P = 19206 / 3.6 = 5335 Watts
