AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the definition of horsepower, with the average horse being equated to 1 HP, or 736 watts. It is noted that a horse can pull a 75 kg load about 1 meter per minute, indicating its strength. The conversation touches on human capability, suggesting that while a man can reach 1 HP, it cannot be sustained continuously. There is a debate about the relevance of rural experience in understanding horsepower. The overall sentiment emphasizes the universal nature of physics, regardless of rural or urban backgrounds.

The power of a horse is expected to be 1 HP by definition. 1 HP equals 736 W=736 J/s. If we use a horse ( and pulley and rope) to pull up a load of 75 kg, it can pull it about 1 meter per minute! A strong horse I think.
 
so is it over there?
here a man could do 1 HP...
 
Not continuously he can't. Did you read the wiki on this?

What? Where is the "former rural world"? Physics Forums is visited by people from all over the world, and the laws of physics are the same for everyone.
