Answer:
Sam is providing the biggest power i.e. 50 W
Explanation:
Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds.
Sam's power :
[tex]P_1=\dfrac{W_1}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{F_1d}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{300\times 5}{30}\\\\P_1=50\ W[/tex]
Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds.
Gary's power :
[tex]P_2=\dfrac{W_2}{t_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{1000}{25}\\\\P_2=40\ W[/tex]
So, it is clear that Sam is providing the biggest power.
