    The answer to the question is;

    To climb three flights of stairs, a vertical height of 15.0 m will take Lars 13.04 s.

    Explanation:

    To solve the question, we note that

    Mass m of Lars = 66.1 kg

    Rate of doing work, power of Lars = 746 W = 746 J/s = Energy/time

    Height of the stairs = 15.0 M

    Energy required = Potential energy gained at top of stairs = m*g*h

    m*g*h = 66.1 kg*9.81 m/s²*15 m = 9726.615 J

    Therefore the time required = Energy/Power = 9726.615/746 = 13.04 s

    It take Lars 13.04 s to climb three flights of stairs, a vertical height of 15.0 m
