Convert calorie / minute to horsepower

Learn how to convert 1 calorie / minute to horsepower step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = x (h o r s e p o w e r)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{4.1868}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{4.1868}{60.0} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 745.699872 (w a t t) = 745.699872 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = x (h o r s e p o w e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{60.0} \times (w a t t) = x \times 745.699872 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.1868}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 745.699872 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \times 745.699872 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.1868}{60.0} = x \times 745.699872

Switch sides

x \times 745.699872 = \frac{4.1868}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{745.699872})

x \times 745.699872 \times \frac{1.0}{745.699872} = \frac{4.1868}{60.0} \times \frac{1.0}{745.699872}

Cancel

x \times 745.699872 \times \frac{1.0}{745.699872} = \frac{4.1868 \times 1.0}{60.0 \times 745.699872}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.1868}{60.0 \times 745.699872}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000935765 \approx 9.3577 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) \approx 9.3577 \times 10^{- 5} (h o r s e p o w e r)
