How Do You Calculate Ones Power And Horsepower?
Power is the measurement of how much work can be done per unit of time. It can be expressed in either watts or horsepower, depending on whether metric (International System) or English (Imperial) units of measure are used to calculate it. Horsepower is a term first coined by James Watt, who calculated that a single horse can do 33,000 foot-pounds of work in 1 minute. Calculate how much work is done by the device. Work is the measure of force times distance. For instance, raising an object weighing 1 Newton 1 meter results in 1 Newton-meter (or 1 Joule) of work. In English units, raising an object weighing 1 pound 1 foot results in 1 foot-pound of work. Understand the definition of “weight.” Weight is a measurement of mass multiplied the acceleration of gravity. In SI units, kilogram is a measurement of mass, although it is commonly used to refer to weight. 1 kilogram of mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity is 1 Newton of weight. Similarly, in English units, a pound is a measu
