What are Erg and Horsepower-hour

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to the work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In scientific notation, one erg is defined as 10^-7 joules. It is a small unit by modern standards and predominantly used in physics and astrophysics for measuring smaller amounts of energy.

A horsepower-hour is a unit of energy that represents the work done at the rate of one horsepower over the period of one hour. It is a larger unit of energy often used in the context of engines and electric motors. One horsepower-hour is equal to 2,545,000 foot-pounds or approximately 745.7 watt-hours in the International System of Units (SI).
