: Somewhere along the line, some engineering standards group decided to define a "standard" horsepower. Maybe it is close to what the average real horse could do, maybe not, but the definition I remember is: one pound raised one foot in one second. This is 1 HORSEPOWER,
WRONG! Thanks to those who stated the definition correctly as 550ft-lbs per second. I guess I didn't remember that so good.
