Power to Weight Ratio Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Power to Weight Ratio (PWR):

\[ PWR = \frac{P}{W} \]

Where:

\(PWR\) is the Power to Weight Ratio (hp/lb)
\(P\) is the power (hp)
\(W\) is the weight (lb)

What is the Power to Weight Ratio?

The Power to Weight Ratio is a measure of the performance of a vehicle, calculated by dividing the power output by the weight of the vehicle. A higher ratio indicates better performance.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Power (\(P\)) = 300 hp
Weight (\(W\)) = 4000 lb

Using the formula:

\[ PWR = \frac{300}{4000} = 0.075 \text{ hp/lb} \]

The Power to Weight Ratio is 0.075 hp/lb.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Power (\(P\)) = 450 hp
Weight (\(W\)) = 3500 lb

Using the formula:

\[ PWR = \frac{450}{3500} = 0.1286 \text{ hp/lb} \]

The Power to Weight Ratio is 0.1286 hp/lb.
