1 metric horsepower = 75 kgf·m/s = 735.49875 W

(With this performance, a mass of 75kg can be lifted 1m high in 1 second. The mass of 75kg, calculated with the standard of gravity, 9.80665 m/s2 is 735.49875 newtons.)   

1 mechanical horsepower = 1 hydraulic horsepower = 33,000 ft-lbf/min = 745,69987158227022 W (performance: 1kW = 1000 W ≈ 1.34 horsepower)
