on a recent adventure trip, Anita Break went rock climbing. Anita was able to perform 1370 J of work in 100 seconds. Determine Anita's power rating during this portion of the climb

        Power = (energy) / (time)

         =    (1370 joules) / (100 seconds)

         =       13.7  joules/second

         =       13.7 watts .

That's not an awful lot of power, especially for a strenuous activity like
rock-climbing.  Shoot !  Even I could probably perform at that level.

Compare 13.7 watts to the light power coming out of a 20-watt night light.

         13.7 watts  =  0.018 horsepower.      (rounded)
