Answer 11

It is pobably the measurement of power that is equall to the strength of one horse.

horse power is, the strength of one horse measured against what a horse is expected to do.

knowing how much one horse can do, when properly cared for,and then showing you a machine that has as much strength  by as many horses as stated, allows you to appreciate what can be bottled up in such a small package.

Horses are mainly known for dragging or carring a load as compared to another animal.

To get the most out of a machine listing horse power, you have to be instructed on how to handle the machine and for what terraine you are trying to use it on. lol :
