Convert horsepower to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower [hp] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to horsepower.
1 hp = 745.7 N*m/s. To convert horsepower to newton meter/second, multiply the value by 745.7; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N*m/s = 0.00134102185866 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 = 745.7 N*m/s
- 1 N*m/s = 0.00134102185866 hp
- 10 hp = 7457 N*m/s
- 100 hp = 74570 N*m/s
How to Convert Horsepower to Newton Meter/second
1 hp = 745.7 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 hp to N*m/s:
15 hp = 15 × 745.7 N*m/s = 11185.5 N*m/s

Horsepower
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement originally developed to compare the power of engines and motors, representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
History/Origin
The term was introduced in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the power of steam engines to draft horses. It became a standard unit in engineering and automotive industries, with its definition evolving over time from mechanical to metric standards.
Current Use
Horsepower is widely used today to rate the power output of engines, motors, and other machinery, especially in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. It remains a common unit for expressing engine power in many countries.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
