Rep Power: 789

Thats my question, What Makes up 1 Horse Power? I am sure theres others out there that are unsure as well.

I know anywhere above 225hp your doing okay..

1 hp = 33,000 ft·pound-force·min−1 = exactly 745.69987158227022 W

The easiest way I can think to put it is 33,000 foot-pounds per minute

It's a measure of force over time basicly.

It term and rating for HP was invented by James Watt.

Rep Power: 789

So, What im getting is that 330lbs being moved 100ft in a minute in one HP. and that is equal to 745.699 Watts?

 
Rep Power: 755

We did stuff about this in my high school physics class. But that was 7 years ago and all I can remember is I have 2 horsepower, we calculated it by timing a run up some stairs and plugging in how much we weighed into some equation.
