Using: 1 horsepower = 550 foot-pounds per second
800 x 200 = 160,000 foot-pounds per minute = 160,000/60 foot-pounds per second.
# Horsepower = 160,000/60 x 550 = 428/33 = 4.848 HP (rounded)

What is one horsepower equal to?
The term horsepower was invented by the engineer James Watt. Watt was working with ponies lifting coal at a coal mine, and he wanted a way to talk about the power available from one of these animals. He found that, on average, a mine pony could do 22,000 foot-pounds of work in a minute. He then increased that number by 50 percent and pegged the measurement of horsepower at 33,000 foot-pounds of work in one minute. So, if you were to lift 33,000 pounds one foot over a period of one minute, you would have been working at the rate of one horsepower. In this case, you'd have expended one horsepower-minute of energy.
