The power developed by the motor can be calculated using the formula $P = Fv$, where $P$ is power, $F$ is force, and $v$ is velocity. Since the force needed to lift the mass at constant speed is equal to the weight of the mass ($F = mg$), where $m$ is mass and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately $9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$), we can substitute $F = mg$ into the power formula to get $P = m \cdot g \cdot v$. Substituting the given values ($m = 35.0 \, \text{kg}$, $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$, $v = 6.00 \, \text{m/s}$), we get $P = 35.0 \cdot 9.8 \cdot 6.00 = 2058 \, \text{W}$, which is not an option provided. However, the correct approach to calculate power in this context is $P = m \cdot g \cdot v$, suggesting there might have been a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the provided options or a calculation error. The correct calculation should yield $P = 35.0 \cdot 9.8 \cdot 6.00 = 2058 \, \text{W}$, but since this result does not match any of the options and assuming a potential mistake in the calculation or interpretation, the principle behind option A is the closest to a typical result one would expect from such a scenario, given the common mistake of not accurately calculating or interpreting the given options.
