    A body of mass 1 kg begins to move under the action of a time dependent force F→=(ti^+2t2j^)N\overrightarrow{F}=\left( t\widehat{i}+ 2t^{2}\widehat{j} \right)N, where i^\widehat{i} and j^\widehat{j} are unit vectors along xx and yy axis. The power developed by above force at time t=3t= 3 second will be
