Answer:
Calculate the total energy consumed during the climb:
Total energy consumed = Energy consumption rate * time
= 40908.8 J/min * 180 min
= 7,384,064 J
Calculate the power consumed in joules per second:
Power consumed (in joules per second) = Total energy consumed / Time taken
= 7,384,064 J / 10800 sec
≈ 683.426 J/s
Therefore, the power consumed during the climb is approximately 683.426 joules per second (J/s).
