# It takes \(4 \, \text{s}\) for an individual to push a \(70 \, \text{kg}\) box up a \(5 \, \text{m}\) long, \(12^\circ\) ramp. The box starts from rest and achieves a speed of \(2.5 \, \text{m/s}\) at the top. Friction does \(350 \, \text{J}\) of work during its ascent. Calculate the power output of the individual pushing the box.
