Convert ton of oil to horsepower • hour

Learn how to convert 1 ton of oil to horsepower • hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t o n o f o i l) = x (h o r s e p o w e r \times h o u r)

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

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (t o n o f o i l) = 4.184 \times 10^{10} (j o u l e) = 4.184 \times 10^{10} (J)

Right side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r \times h o u r) = 2647795.5 (j o u l e) = 2647795.5 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t o n o f o i l) = x (h o r s e p o w e r \times h o u r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.184 \times 10^{10} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 2647795.5 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.184 \times 10^{10} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 2647795.5 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.184 \times 10^{10} \cdot (J) = x \times 2647795.5 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.184 \times 10^{10} = x \times 2647795.5

Switch sides

x \times 2647795.5 = 4.184 \times 10^{10}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2647795.5})

x \times 2647795.5 \times \frac{1.0}{2647795.5} = 4.184 \times 10^{10} \times \frac{1.0}{2647795.5}

Cancel

x \times 2647795.5 \times \frac{1.0}{2647795.5} = 4.184 \times 10^{10} \times \frac{1.0}{2647795.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.184 \times 10^{10}}{2647795.5}

Solve

x

x \approx 15801.824574 \approx 1.5802 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t o n o f o i l) \approx 1.5802 \times 10^{4} (h o r s e p o w e r \times h o u r)
