Answer

(a) $P = m~g~c$ (b) $P = 73.5~W$

Work Step by Step

(a) The required force is $F = mg$ We can find the required power $P$: $F = \frac{P}{c}$ $P = F~c$ $P = m~g~c$ (b) We can evaluate our expression for $P$: $P = m~g~c$ $P = (25\times 10^{-9}~kg)(9.8~m/s^2)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)$ $P = 73.5~W$
