Question

If an internal combustion engine produces 12 W of power, how much power is this in a. hp and b. Ibf-ft/s. Show all unit cancellations.

Answer 1

a)12 W = 0.01609 hp

b)12 W = 8.85 lbf-ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Power produces by internal combustion engine = 12 W

a)As we know that

1 W = 0.001341 hp

So it means that

12 W = 0.001341 x 12 hp

12 W = 0.01609 hp

b)We also know that

1 W = 0.737 lbf-ft/s

So it means that

12 W = 0.737 x 12 lbf-ft/s

12 W = 8.85 lbf-ft/s
