The dimensions of power are the same as [force] x [velocity].

So 2hp = 66000ft.lb/min, or 1492W, near enough, and with very little doubt.

Depends on the type of horses and how long they have to pull. If we are talking about the definition of hp.

It has always been in disagreement whether a horse can obtain the 33000lb ft/min load.

Now if we are talking about two horse pulling a load. I would say it two horse power its is two horses!
