3) When its 75.0kW engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 750kg gains altitude at a rate of 2.50m/s. What fraction of the engine power is being used to make the airplane climb? (The remainder is used to overcome the effects of air resistance and of inefficiencies in the propeller and engine.) Express your answer as a percentage.
