Good post Jenn

Hethj7 and Rev:
Ok, after my friend and I had this argument I went and asked my college physics professor how to calculate HP. He told me that HP is a how fast you can move an object with a certin amount of weight in a certin amount of time over a certin amount of distance. So weight, time, and distance is what is needed to calculate distance. HP is a type of power/energy and Torque is a type of force. Now correct me if I'm wrong (or my college professor is wrong) about this HP vs. Torque thing. Or are we arguing about the same thing and I just don't see how this forumla works?...
