Question:
The unit of horsepower was defined by considering the power output of a typical horse. Working-horse guidelines in the \(1900 \mathrm{~s}\) called for them to pull with a force equal to \(10 \%\) of their body weight at a speed of \(3.0 \mathrm{mph}\). For a typical working horse of \(1200 \mathrm{lb}\), what power does this represent in \(\mathrm{W}\) and in \(\mathrm{hp}\) ?
