How much power do you lose going from 5% to 1%?

A one-sided test uses H0:μ=0H_0: \mu = 0 against H1:μ>0H_1: \mu > 0 with a known σ=10\sigma = 10, a sample of n=25n = 25. The true mean is μ=6\mu = 6. At α=0.05\alpha = 0.05 the power is 0.91.

Recompute the power if the significance level is tightened to α=0.01\alpha = 0.01, and comment on the trade-off.
