Full solution

Q. Convert 4hp 4 \mathrm{hp} to ftlbs \frac{\mathrm{ft} \cdot \mathrm{lb}}{\mathrm{s}}
  1. Understand Conversion Factors: Understand the conversion factors needed to convert horsepower to (ftlb)/s(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb})/\text{s}. One horsepower is defined as 550550 foot-pounds per second (ftlb/s)(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb}/\text{s}).
  2. Multiply Given Horsepower: Multiply the given horsepower by the conversion factor to get the equivalent in (ftlb)/s(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb})/\text{s}. Since 11 hp =550= 550 (ftlb)/s(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb})/\text{s}, to convert 44 hp to (ftlb)/s(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb})/\text{s}, we multiply 44 by 550550. Calculation: 44 hp 550* 550 (ftlb)/s(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb})/\text{s} per hp 1111 (ftlb)/s(\text{ft}\cdot\text{lb})/\text{s}
