Answer
$\overline P=1.69\times10^4W$
Work Step by Step
According to the work-energy theorem, $$W=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_0^2)$$
We have $m=184kg, v_0=0,$ and $ v_f=26m/s$, so the amount of work which must be done by the winch is $$W=62192J$$
To find the power the winch must supply, we also need to find the amount of time to accelerate the glider, which can be found with the equations of kinematics: $$s=\Big(\frac{v+v_0}{2}\Big)t$$ $$t=\frac{2s}{v+v_0}=\frac{2\times48}{26}=3.69s$$
So, $$\overline P=\frac{W}{t}=1.69\times10^4W$$
