What is Power to Mass Ratio?

The power to mass ratio is a measure of the performance of an object or vehicle, indicating how much power it can produce per unit of mass. It is commonly used to compare the performance of different vehicles or machines.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ R = \frac{200}{1500} = 0.13 \text{ hp/lb} \]

The power to mass ratio is 0.13 hp/lb.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ R = \frac{150}{1000} = 0.15 \text{ kW/kg} \]

The power to mass ratio is 0.15 kW/kg.
