Question: During a steam - catapult launch from a carrier, the necessary acceleration can be around 4 g ' s to reach take - off speed

During a steam-catapult launch from a carrier, the necessary acceleration can be around 4 g's to reach take-off speed over the short distance.
What delivered by the catapult to accelerate a 29,200 kg aircraft at 38 m/s2across a deck 102.3 m long over 1.9 s?(Think about the work done on the aircraft by the catapult during the launch.)
It is a large amount of power, so use MW (MegaWatt) as the units. (1 MW=1,000,000W)
