Calculate how much his potential energy increases in one second. Use the formula PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height), mass in kg, gravity = 9.8 (meters per second squared), convert height to meters. Result will be in Joules. The standard unit of power, Watts, means Joules / second.

You solve this in two parts. First, calculate the change in potential energy (mass x gravity x height). Then divide that by the time to get the power.
