RUNNING UPSTAIRS.
Physical Energy II Expends Quoted In
Horsepower.

Horsepower.
To lift $50 pounds one foot In one
second requires what Is known as one
horsepower. Similarly horsepower
Is able to raise twice that weight one
foot I'm twice the time, or one-half foot
In Just that time. Moreover. 1t can
raise half $50 pounds one foot In half "a
second, or two feet In second. and
30 Oh. Therefore when we lift one
fourth of that weight. 1917 pounds.
four feet In one second, we are ex-
erting horsepower
Accordingly. when "a person who
weighs 1917 pounds runs upstairs at
the rate Of four feet second, he Is
exerting the equivalent OF horsepow-
er. For man weighing twice that
much, 275 pounds, 1t would be neces-
sary to climb at the rate OF only two
feet second to exert horsepower.
II Is possible to do much more.
As n matter OF fact. horse often
exerts many times horsepower. The
average horse can draw wagon up a
hill where n ten horsepower engine
with the same load would fail. A horse
power does not represent the greatest
momentary strength OF the average
horse. but Is measure of the power
which he can exert continuously.-New
