#700"watts"#

Explanation:

First up, we need to find Work which is found by multiplying your force and distance

#"work"="force"times"distance"#
#"work"=700times6#
#"work"=4200#

Now we can find power using the equation of work divided by time

#"power"="work"/"time"#
#"power"=4200/6#
#"power"=700#watts
