A horse moves a sleigh 1.00 kilometers by applying a horizontal 2000 Newton force on its harness for 45 minutes. what is the power of the horse?

- - If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,

then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.

- - 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds

- - Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = 740.74 watts

Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower. (0.99295 ... of 746 watts)
