Convert horsepower to erg / second

Learn how to convert 1 horsepower to erg / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
1.0(horsepower)=x(ergsecond)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit (watt)
Left side: 1.0 (horsepower)=745.699872(watt)=745.699872(W)
Right side: 1.0 (ergsecond)=107(watt)=107(W)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine x
1.0(horsepower)=x(ergsecond)
Insert known values =>
1.0×745.699872×(watt)=x×107×(watt)
Or
1.0745.699872(W)=x107(W)
Cancel SI units
1.0×745.699872(W)=x×107×(W)
Conversion Equation
745.699872=x×107
Switch sides
x×107=745.699872
Isolate x
Multiply both sides by (1.0107)
x×107×1.0107=745.699872×1.0107
Cancel
x×107×1.0107=745.699872×1.0107
Simplify
x=745.699872107
Rewrite equation
1.0107 can be rewritten to 107
Rewrite
x=107×745.699872
Solve x
x=74569987207.457×109
Conversion Equation
1.0(horsepower)7.457×109(ergsecond)
