The formula to convert horsepower to joules is:
\[ \text{J} = \frac{\text{HP} \times 745.7}{\text{T}} \]
Where:
To calculate HP to Joules, multiply the horsepower by 745.7, then divide by the time.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the energy in joules:
\[ \text{J} = \frac{10 \times 745.7}{5} = 1491.4 \text{ J} \]
This demonstrates that with a horsepower of 10 HP and a time of 5 seconds, the energy is 1491.4 joules. ✅
