Power

Power is another term used in a special technical sense in speaking of machines. It is the rate or speed at which work is per­formed. If you raise a ten-pound weight a distance of twenty feet in two minutes, you are performing work at a rate of ten pounds X twenty feet x two minutes, or two hundred foot- pounds in two minutes. Since the rate is usually given in units of one minute, this is a rate of 100 foot-pounds in a minute.

In the English-speaking countries, the rate of doing work is usually given in terms of horsepower, often abbreviated hp. You will remember that this expression resulted from the desire of the inventor James Watt to describe the work his steam engines per­formed in terms that his customers could easily understand. After much experimentation, he settled on a rate of 33,000 foot-pounds per minute as one horsepower.

In the metric system power is measured in terms of watts and kilowatts. The watt is the power to do one joule of work per second. The joule is a small unit of work, approximately three-quarters of a foot-pound. One horsepower is equal to 746 watts. The kilowatt, a more widely used term, equals a thousand watts or approximately IVs horsepower in the English system. The newton is a unit equal to the force necessary to accelerate one kilogram one meter per sec­ond per second.

We are used to hearing the words watt and kilowatt in connec­tion with electricity but we must remember that from a scientific viewpoint any kind of power can be quantified in the same terms. It is the work rather than the source of energy which is important; watts and kilowatts are used to measure power that results from mechanical as well as electrical energy.
