Convert Watt to Horsepower (Imperial)

Unit definitions

Watt

The watt is the SI unit of power. It is defined as one joule per second ($1\ \text{W} = 1\ \text{J/s}$).

Horsepower (Imperial)

The imperial horsepower is defined as $550$ foot-pounds per second (i.e., the ability to raise $550$ pounds by a foot within a second). One imperial horsepower is approximately $745.7$ watts.

How to convert Watt to Horsepower (Imperial)

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = \text{Power}_{\text{W}} \cdot 0.001341022089595028329958639424674090$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $45.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hp}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 45.0 \cdot 0.001341022089595028329958639424674090$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 0.060346$$

$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{W} = 0.060346 \ \text{hp}$$

Example 2

Convert $60.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hp}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 60.0 \cdot 0.001341022089595028329958639424674090$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 0.080461$$

$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{W} = 0.080461 \ \text{hp}$$

Example 3

Convert $115.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hp}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 115.0 \cdot 0.001341022089595028329958639424674090$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 0.154218$$

$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{W} = 0.154218 \ \text{hp}$$

Example 4

Convert $135.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hp}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 135.0 \cdot 0.001341022089595028329958639424674090$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 0.181038$$

$$\therefore \ 135.0\ \text{W} = 0.181038 \ \text{hp}$$

Example 5

Convert $200.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hp}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 200.0 \cdot 0.001341022089595028329958639424674090$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 0.268204$$

$$\therefore \ 200.0\ \text{W} = 0.268204 \ \text{hp}$$
