- I am trying to figure out the formula to help me build something

- I want to know how to solve: What is the power or torque required to lift an 18 inch long object, that is 6-8 pounds, from an anchored end.
I am at my wits end with trying to find this formula. So far all I've gotten is I need to figure out mechanical power, maybe torque? I can't figure out the formula for this motion as it is like negative leverage. I want to build a machine that can do this thousands of times so I also need to figure the longevity of the motor's power required. My degree is in hospitality management, and the only math or physics classes I could really push my limits in is finance. I am trying to learn, and am starting to hit a wall. If anyone has any idea where I can look to find this information I would greatly appreciate it. 18 inches(7lbs) from flat position to 90 degrees vertical, and back down softly.
