This is a physics question, not a math question, although you need to use math to soilve it.
The work done is 120 x 550 foot-pounds.
Divide that by the time required (in seconds) to get the power in ft-lb per second.
Then use the conversion factor for horsepower.
1 horsepower is defined as 550 foot-pounds per second
