Convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) to erg/second

Please provide values below to convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) [hp] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s).

1 hp = 7457000000 erg/s. To convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) to erg/second, multiply the value by 7457000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1.3410e-10 hp). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Quick Reference

  • 1 hp = 7457000000 erg/s
  • 1 erg/s = 1.3410e-10 hp
  • 10 hp = 74570000000 erg/s
  • 100 hp = 745700000000 erg/s

How to Convert Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s) to Erg/second

Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).

History/Origin

The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.

Current Use

Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.


Erg/second

The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.

History/Origin

The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.

Current Use

Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
