Answer

The force of the rope does work on the skier at a rate of $~~225~W$

Work Step by Step

At a speed of $2.0~m/s$, the skier takes $4.0~s$ to move $8.0~m$ We can find the rate at which the force of the rope does work on the skier: $P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{900~J}{4.0~s} = 225~W$ The force of the rope does work on the skier at a rate of $~~225~W$.
