Power is work over time. The picture I have was as the weight room at TCU. Lifting weight is an example of power. You are able to measure power when lifting weights. It requires work to lift up the often large amount of weight, and it can also be timed. By finding the work and time, you can find power. Power is found all around us. Whenever we lift something for a certain amount of time, we can find power. In class, we used the example of running up the stairs, by calculating the work of a person, and timing them up the stairs, we are able to find the power they generate.
