In other words, power is a measure of the exercise of force over time in achieving the movement of a mass. This basic measure may be converted into equivalent measures of power such as horsepower of an engine or watts of electrical power.</p> <p style="margin-left: 0.3in;" class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal">Power = Work/Time = Force x Distance/Time</p> <p style="margin-left: 0.3in;" class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal">Note that if force is applied against an immovable mass such as a mountain, there is no displacement and thus, no work or power, independent of the amount of force used. If no result is achieved by the exercise of force, there is no power. </p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal">In the affairs of man, power is the <br />
