Horsepower is a term In mechanics

amount of work in given time. The
fundamental unit of work is the foot
pound, but in measuring the work of
a horse by this unit the estimates of
the most celebrated engineers differ
widely. Watt and Boulton, basing their
caluculation on the. work of London
dray horse for eight hours daily, esti-
mated it at $4,000 foot pounds per min
ute. while the estimates of others range
from 16.440 to $4,000 foot pounds a
