    Mass of James = 54.431kg

    Distance ran by James = 3.6576m

    Mass of John = 41.277kg

    Distance relan by John = 3.6576m

    Work done by James = 54.431kg*10N/kg*3.6576m = 1990.87J

    Work done by John = 41.277kg*10N/kg*3.6576m=1509.75J

    Horsepower = work done / time since time is same, James has larger horsepower
