Horsepower-to-Weight Ratio Calculator

Formula

The horsepower-to-weight ratio is calculated as:

$\text{Horsepower-to-Weight Ratio} = \frac{\text{Engine Horsepower (HP)}}{\text{Vehicle Weight (lbs)}}$

What is Horsepower-to-Weight Ratio?

The horsepower-to-weight ratio is a measure of the performance of a vehicle. It is calculated by dividing the engine's horsepower by the vehicle's weight. A higher ratio indicates better performance.

Example Calculation

Consider a vehicle with an engine horsepower of 250 HP and a weight of 3000 lbs:

Engine Horsepower: 250 HP
Vehicle Weight: 3000 lbs

Using the formula:

$\text{Horsepower-to-Weight Ratio} = \frac{250}{3000} = 0.0833 \text{ HP/lb}$

This means the vehicle has a horsepower-to-weight ratio of 0.0833 HP/lb.
