Question

Tech A says that horsepower is a measurement simply of the amount of work being performed. Tech B says that horsepower can be calculated by multiplying torque by rpm and dividing by 5252. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Tech B

Step-by-step explanation:

Horsepower (hp) refers to a unit of measurement of power in respect of the output of engines or motors.

Horsepower is the common unit of power. It indicates the rate at which work is done.

The formula
`(rpm*T)/(5252)`, where rpm is the engine speed, T is the torque, and 5,252 is radians per second.

So,

Tech B is correct
