Discover the ease of converting hp•h to erg with our Horsepower Hour to Erg Converter, developed by Newtum. Get fast, accurate energy unit conversions to facilitate your calculations.
Horsepower is a unit of measurement that represents power, the rate at which work is done. Historically, it was defined as the amount of work a horse could do over a certain period, but it has since been standardized. One horsepower equals 746 watts, or the power needed to lift 550 pounds by one foot in one second. It's commonly used in automotive and machinery industries to express the power output of engines and motors.
Definition of ErgAn erg is a unit of energy or work done in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is equivalent to the work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In more relatable terms, it's approximately the amount of work done by a common housefly performing a one-second push-up. One erg is a very small amount of energy, equal to 10^-7 joules, and it is often used in physics and astronomy.
| Horsepower Hour (hp•h) | Erg |
|---|---|
| 0.001 hp•h | 2.685E+10 erg |
| 0.01 hp•h | 2.685E+11 erg |
| 0.1 hp•h | 2.685E+12 erg |
| 0.5 hp•h | 1.3425E+13 erg |
| 1 hp•h | 2.685E+13 erg |
| 5 hp•h | 1.3425E+14 erg |
| 10 hp•h | 2.685E+14 erg |
| 50 hp•h | 1.3425E+15 erg |
| 100 hp•h | 2.685E+15 erg |
| 500 hp•h | 1.3425E+16 erg |
1 hp•h = 2.685 x 10^13 erg
1 erg = 1/2.685 x 10^-13 hp•h
Example 1:
convert 0.02 hp•h to erg:
0.02 hp•h = 0.02 x 2.685 x 10^13 erg = 5.37 x 10^11 erg
Example 2:
convert 0.5 hp•h to erg:
0.5 hp•h = 0.5 x 2.685 x 10^13 erg = 1.3425 x 10^13 erg
The Horsepower Hour to Erg Converter traces its origins to the need for converting different units of energy. With the establishment of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, erg became a standard unit for small amounts of energy, while horsepower hours were used for larger, mechanical energy calculations. This converter was developed to bridge the gap between these two units, simplifying calculations for engineers and scientists.
Harness the practical utility of our Horsepower Hour to Erg Converter across diverse applications.
Example 1:
To convert 2 hp•h to ergs:
2 hp•h = 2 x 2.685 x 10^13 erg = 5.37 x 10^13 erg
Example 2:
To convert 0.03 hp•h to ergs:
0.03 hp•h = 0.03 x 2.685 x 10^13 erg = 8.055 x 10^11 erg
