                               Work = (force) x (distance)

The work he did:    Work = (700 N) x (4m)  =  2,800 joules

The rate at which
he did it (power):    Work/time =  2,800 joules/2 sec

                                                =  1,400  joules/sec

                                                =  1,400 watts

                                                =  1.877... horsepower (rounded)
