Dear student

Please find the link

https://www.askiitians.com/iit-jee-thermal-physics/work-done-during-isothermal-expansion.html#analytical-method

work done can be calculated from this
calculate power as the rate is given

now convert 1hp = 745.5 watts approx

from this answer can be obtained
Also please dont forget to use std units where ever req.
