--  If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.

-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds

-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = 740.74 watts

Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower.  (0.99295... of 746 watts)
