Best Answer

Horsepower is a measurement of the output of a motor. The formula for horsepower derives from the original meaning, which was how much coal a horse could move in one minute, which was rated at 330 lbs of coal raised 100 feet in a minute. One horsepower is therefore rated at 33,000 ft-lbs per minute.
