An 'erg' is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the metric system, one erg is equal to 10^-7 joules. It's a small unit of energy, often used in physics to measure microscopic levels of work.
Definition of Horsepower-hourA horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy that represents the work done by a power of one horsepower being exerted for one hour. One horsepower is equivalent to 745.7 watts, so one horsepower-hour equals to 2,685,000 joules or 2.685 MJ. This unit is commonly used in the automotive and electrical industries to quantify the energy produced or consumed.

| 5e+10 Erg | 1.888e-05 hp*h |
| 1e+11 Erg | 3.776e-05 hp*h |
| 5e+11 Erg | 0.0001888 hp*h |
| 1e+12 Erg | 0.0003776 hp*h |
| 5e+12 Erg | 0.001888 hp*h |
| 1e+13 Erg | 0.003776 hp*h |
1 Erg = 6.184e-12 Horsepower Hour
1 Horsepower Hour = 1.61e+11 Erg
Example 1:
Convert 1e+10 Erg to Horsepower Hour:
1e+10 Erg = 1e+10 × 6.184e-12 hp*h = 0.06184 hp*h
Example 2:
Convert 5e+10 Erg to Horsepower Hour:
5e+10 Erg = 5e+10 × 6.184e-12 hp*h = 0.3092 hp*h
The concept of energy conversion from Erg to Horsepower Hour dates back to the time when different systems of measurement were unified. It facilitated the comparison and conversion between mechanical work in CGS (erg) and the power output of engines (horsepower hour).
