Convert horsepower to (foot • pound) / second

Learn how to convert 1 horsepower to (foot • pound) / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d})

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

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 746.0 (w a t t) = 746.0 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = 1.3558180656 (w a t t) = 1.3558180656 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 746.0 \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.3558180656 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 746.0 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.3558180656 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 746.0 \cdot (W) = x \times 1.3558180656 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

746.0 = x \times 1.3558180656

Switch sides

x \times 1.3558180656 = 746.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.3558180656})

x \times 1.3558180656 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656} = 746.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656}

Cancel

x \times 1.3558180656 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656} = 746.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656}

Simplify

x = \frac{746.0}{1.3558180656}

Solve

x

x \approx 550.22131577 \approx 5.5022 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) \approx 5.5022 \times 10^{2} (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d})
