In an experiment to measure his power, a student records the time taken by him in running in a flight of steps on a staircase. Use the following data to calculate the power of the student: Number of steps = $28$ Height of each step = $20cm$ Time taken = $5.4s$ Mass of student = $55kg$ Acceleration = $9.8ms^{-2}$ Due to gravity.
