Topic	wait a single horse can produce up to 15 horse power? why call it horse power??
apolloooo 07/17/20 9:30:28 AM #9:	DevsBro posted... Power is energy per time, which is equal to the dot product of force and velocity. James Watt, who coined the unit of horsepower, used a horse, a rope and a pulley to raise a weight out of a well, and used the weight (force) of the stone and the velocity of the horse to calculate the unit he would understandably call horsepower. What this means in reality, though, is that the horsepower is not the power of all horses, but rather the power that James Watt's horse felt like exerting during that particular experiment. wow makes sense brudda. --- http://i.imgtc.com/iJyp6bF.png http://i.imgtc.com/ZBw36Qh.png Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone <cite>apolloooo posted [p:942225741] in wait a sin...
