1 Answers
The 480 engine has over 50 horsepower. Below is relevant information about horsepower: 1. Introduction to horsepower: Horsepower is a commonly used unit for measuring power in engineering technology, proposed by James Watt. 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 735 watts. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. 1 horsepower equals the work of completing 75 kilogram-force meters in 1 second, also equal to 0.735 kilowatts, or metric horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds per second, equal to 76 kilogram-force meters per second, or 0.746 kilowatts. 2. Metric horsepower: Metric horsepower, also known as metric horsepower, is entirely man-made and set to a value very close to imperial horsepower. It is defined that 1 metric horsepower is the work of completing 75 kilogram-force meters in 1 second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force meters/second = 735 watts.
