To calculate the Weight to Horsepower Ratio (WHR):
\[ WHR = \frac{W}{HP} \]
Where:
The Weight to Horsepower Ratio is a measure of a vehicle's performance, calculated by dividing the vehicle's weight by its horsepower. A lower ratio indicates better performance, as it means the vehicle has more power relative to its weight.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ WHR = \frac{3000}{300} = 10 \text{ lbs/hp} \]
The Weight to Horsepower Ratio is 10 lbs/hp.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ WHR = \frac{4000}{500} = 8 \text{ lbs/hp} \]
The Weight to Horsepower Ratio is 8 lbs/hp.
