You don't need the power rating of the motor to calculate the work required to lift one.
It is W = M g H
H = 38 m
g = 9.8 m/s^2
M = 370 kg
The answer will be in joules
A crane lifts a concrete hopper of mass 370 kg from the ground to the top of a 38 m building that is under construction. The hopper moves with a constant speed during the lift. The power rating of the crane motor is 8.2 kiloWatts.
