It is the power required for the             performance of work at the rate of 33,000 English units of             work per minute; hence, it is the power that must be             exerted in lifting 33,000 pounds at the rate of one foot             per minute, or 550 pounds at the rate of one foot per             second, or 55 pounds at the rate of ten feet per second,             etc.          Note: The power of a draught horse, of average strength,                working eight hours per day, is about four fifths of a                standard horse power.          {Brake horse power}, the net effective power of a prime             mover, as a steam engine, water wheel, etc., in horse             powers, as shown by a friction brake.
