1 Answers
Below is the method to calculate a car's horsepower:1. Formula: Horsepower is calculated from torque, and the formula is: Power (kW) = Torque (N·m) × Speed (rpm) ÷ 9549.2. Engine horsepower: The horsepower of an engine refers to its output capability (work done), i.e., output power.3. Output power: Output power is a very important parameter for measuring car performance, used to evaluate engine performance. Below is some extended information on the topic:1. Parameters: Horsepower, torque, and speed are essentially three interrelated parameters. The need for horsepower in a car is primarily for better handling performance and good acceleration.2. Horsepower size: Horsepower is not the only parameter; there are many other factors that affect car performance.
