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.
Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
