Mechanical Power Calculator
Find mechanical power from work done over time, or from a force moving at a speed — in watts and horsepower.
Power
500 W
- Power (kW)
- 0.5 kW
- Power (hp)
- 0.670511 hp
- Power (ft·lbf/s)
- 368.781 ft·lbf/s
Show the work
Power = work ÷ time
P = W ÷ t
1,000 ÷ 2 = 500 W
How it works
P = W ÷ t, or P = F·v; 1 hp (mechanical) = 550 ft·lbf/s ≈ 745.7 W
