# A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude \(23 \, \text{N}\) on the free end of the crank handle on the ice-cream maker, and this end moves on a circular path of radius \(0.25 \, \text{m}\). The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every \(1.7 \, \text{s}\), what is the average power being expended?
