now doing simple conversion to american (std) and you get
hp=lbs*g*ft/sec
or in poundsforce hp=lbf*ft/sec where lbf=lbs*9.8 m/s^2(gravity)
now rather than going in a discussion about this, just read wikipedia's defination of torque in relation to hp (since i have gotten the units to measure hp for you) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque |
sure guy okay
just so you know anytime a time unit is squared dealing with measurement it's in acceleration. if you're talking about acceleration that's one thing...
but like you said im not going to go into a discussion about this with you. it would be pointless and fruitless... I appreciate your effort though. goodday
