To estimate the jogger's power output, we first calculate the work done against gravity, which is the product of weight and height. The weight of the jogger is (70 , \text{kg} \times 9.81 , \text{m/s}^2 = 686.7 , \text{N}). The work done is (686.7 , \text{N} \times 4.5 , \text{m} = 3089.65 , \text{J}). Power output is work done divided by time, so (P = \frac{3089.65 , \text{J}}{4 , \text{s}} \approx 772.41 , \text{W}). Thus, the jogger's power output is approximately 772 watts.
