What are Horsepower and Gram-force

Definition of Horsepower

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement that signifies the power of engines and motors. Traditionally, it was defined as the amount of work a horse could do in one hour, which is equivalent to lifting 550 pounds by one foot in one second. Today, it is a widely accepted standard unit for measuring the power output of engines and motors, especially in the automotive and machinery industries. One horsepower equals 746 watts in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force that corresponds to the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity. It is not an SI unit but is still used in some contexts for its simplicity. The gram-force takes into account the mass of an object and the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. One gram-force is thus the force required to accelerate a one-gram mass by the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface.
