    Work to lift the box:

    Work = (force) x (distance)

    Work = (10 lb) x (3 ft)

    Work = 30 ft-lbs

    Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

    Power = (30 ft-lbs) / (10 seconds)

    Power = 3 ft-lbs/second

    1 Horsepower = 550 ft-lbs/second

    (3 / 550) = 0.0055 Horsepower
