Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:


`550 (ft.lb)/(sec)`

Step-by-step explanation:


`P= (W)/(t)`

And:


`W=F.d`

F: Applied force.
d: Distance traveled by the object.

Finally, we have that:

t: Time traveled by the object.

The Power or Work/Second of a 1 Hp (Horsepower) engine is the force necessary to vertically raise a weight of 550 lb at the speed of
`1 ft/second`

Have a nice day :)
