The experimental meaning of horsepower can be explained by taking an example. Let a car have a power of 500 hp. 1hp = 75 kg m/s, which means a body with 1hp can move a weight of 75 kg up to 1m in 1sec. So, having 500hp means the car can move (75×500)kg or 37500 weight up to 1m in 1 sec.
1hp is also the power used to 33,000lbs push/pull over 1foot in 1 minute.
