    720 W

    Explanation:

    First let us find the work done of lifting the elevator. The work done can be calculated using the formula WD = F * d where F is the magnitude of force in N and d is the parallel distance moved in m. Hence,

    WD = (1200) (9)

    = 10 800 J

    Power is the rate of work done with the formula P = E/t where E is the work done in J and t is the time in s. Hence,

    Power of motor = 10 800 / 15

    = 720 W
