Horsepower:

• Horsepower, the common unit of power; i.e., the rate at which work is done.
• In the British Imperial System, one horsepower equals 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute, that is, the power necessary to lift a total mass of 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute.
• Horsepower at the output shaft of an engine, turbine, or motor is termed brake horsepower or shaft horsepower.
• 1 Horsepower is equal to the 0.735499 Kilowatt.

Calculation:

Given:

∵ 1 Horsepower = 0.735499 Kilowatt

∴ 3/4 Horsepower = 0.75 × 0.735499 = 0.5516 Kilowatt
