Torque is the measurement of turning force. A wrench applies torque to a bolt. A motor or engine provides torque to do work. Horsepower is the measurement of the work done or ability to do work. This is done by taking the speed the engine is operating at (RPM) and what torque it is producing and applying a formula to give a horsepower rating.
Horsepower is defined as work done over time. The exact definition of one horsepower is 33,000 lb.ft./minute. Put another way, if you were to lift 33,000 pounds one foot over a period of one minute, you would have been working at the rate of one horsepower. In this case, you'd have expended one horsepower-minute of energy. There are other definitions but as a whole they say approximately the same as in energy consumed for actual work.
Torque has nothing to do with horsepower. It is purely a measure of force, whereas horsepower is a measure of how much work can be done over time.
By an engine or machine working ( force x distance = work)
746 watts is equal to 1 horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done, and 1 horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts.
The amount of work done by a heat engine equals the difference between the heat input and the heat output of the engine. This is known as the heat engine's thermal efficiency.
Power. It is the amount of work done per unit of time and is typically measured in watts or horsepower. The higher the power, the faster work can be done by the machine.
Toruqe is the amount of rotational force the engine generates. Horsepower is work performed in a straight line.

the steam engine was quicker and stronger than hoses
Horsepower (hp) is unit of measurement of power, the rate at which work is done.
Yes, power is the rate at which work is done. It is generally measured in watts in the International System of Units (SI) but can also be measured in horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of power that is often used in the context of engines and machines.
