What are Horsepower-hour and Kilogram-force-centimeter

A horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy that combines the mechanical power unit, horsepower, with time in hours. It represents the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. This unit is not commonly used in practice but serves as a way of quantifying larger amounts of work or energy based on the horsepower metric.

A kilogram-force centimeter (kgf*cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram-force acting at a radius of one centimeter. It combines the metric unit of force, kilogram-force, which is the gravitational force on one kilogram of mass, with the distance from the rotational axis, measured in centimeters.

History of Horsepower-hour and Kilogram-force-centimeter

The concept of horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with the power of horses. Later, this unit was extended to horsepower-hour to measure the energy output over time. The kilogram-force centimeter is a metric unit reflecting the torque applied by force in kilograms at a lever arm measured in centimeters.
