One horsepower (1 hp) is the unit of power based on the work that a horse can do in one second. This is defined, in English units, as a force of 550 lb that can move an object 1 foot in 1 s. In SI, 1 hp equals 745.7 W, or 745.7 J of work delivered in 1 s. Suppose you have a horse that delivers 745.7 W of power, but that it does the work in only 0.55 s. How much work has this horse done?

Power is defined as rate of work done which means it is work done in 1 second of time

Now it is given that we have a horse that will give power 745.7 W

So it will do work of 745.7 J in 1 second of time

now if we wish to find the work done by horse in 0.55 s

so we can say


W = Power * time


W = 745.7 * 0.55


W = 410.14 J

So it will do total work of 410.14 J in 0.55 s of time
