@be_physicts: Horsepower is used to measure the power of an engine. It was introduced by James Watt in the 18th century to compare the power of steam engines to horses, and nowadays, we use it to show how powerful a car's engine is. The higher the figure, the more power the engine has. In the 18th-century. Engineer James Watt needed a way to market his new steam engines to farmers and miners who were entirely reliant on draft Horses. The demonstrated his engine comparing the Horses they use at work. He compared the power produced by his engine is equal as 7 horses. From then every vehicle Engine ever invented was measured by Horse Power! #trending #horsepower #bephysicts🌐
