Detailed Solution

'g' value is maximum on the surface of earth than at any height so power exerted by Force is greatest when the body hits the earthPower = . Power exerted by gravitational force is maximum when it is positive i.e. when θ = 00. i.e when the body is falling, also power is maximum, when 'g' is maximum on the surface of the earth.
