That's why I asked about engineering, not driving. Nobody converts torque to power etc.?
- bluGill 3y agoThe engineers who do that are using metric. Marketing might do this conversion, but they just plug it into a converter and have no reason to know anything more than bigger is better.
- mcronce 3y agoTorque to power is just (torque * RPM) / (some constant depending on the units inolved). With ft-lbs and horsepower, that constant is 5252; with N-m and kW, it's 9549. The only thing that changes is the constant.
- codeflo 3y agoYou make it sound like you'd have to remember a 4-digit constant in either case. That's stupid, it's simply (torque * RPS * 2 * PI).
- raketenolli 3y agoNo, power is just torque times angular velocity. No constants involved.
- mcronce 3y agoIf you ignore units, sure.
