Mechanical horsepower

One horsepower is equivalent to 33,000 foot-pounds per

minute
Assuming the third CGPM (1901, CR 70) definition of standard gravity,
gn=9.80665 m/s2, is used to define the pound-force as well as the kilogram force, and
the international avoirdupois pound (1959), one mechanical horsepower is:

1
≡ 33,000 ft-lbf/min by definition
hp
= 550 ft·lbf/s since 1 min = 60 s
=
since 1 ft = 0.3048 m and
550×0.3048×0.453592376 m·kgf/s
= 76.0402259128 kgf·m/s 1 lb = 0.453592376 kg
=
g = 9.80665 m/s2
76.0402259128×9.80665 kg·m2/s3
≡ 1 J/s = 1 N·m/s =
= 745.699881448 W since 1 W
1 (kg·m/s2)·(m/s)

Or given that 1 hp = 550 ft·lbf/s, 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 lbf ≈

4.448 N, 1 J = 1 N·m, 1 W = 1 J/s: 1 hp = 746 W
