Enter the horsepower and the weight of the vehicle in tons into the calculator to determine the horsepower per ton. This is a measure of the vehicle’s performance.
HP per Ton Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the horsepower per ton.
HP/Ton = HP / Weight
Variables:
- HP is the horsepower of the vehicle
- Weight is the weight of the vehicle in tons
To calculate the horsepower per ton, divide the horsepower of the vehicle by its weight in tons.
What is Horsepower per Ton?
Horsepower per ton is a unit of measurement that indicates how much horsepower a vehicle has relative to its weight. It is a common metric used to compare the performance of different vehicles, especially in racing and automotive industries. A higher horsepower per ton ratio suggests a more powerful vehicle that can accelerate faster and perform better.
How to Calculate HP per Ton?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Horsepower per Ton.
- First, determine the horsepower (HP) of the vehicle.
- Next, determine the weight of the vehicle (Weight) in tons.
- Next, gather the formula from above = HP/Ton = HP / Weight.
- Finally, calculate the Horsepower per Ton (HP/Ton).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Horsepower (HP) = 300 HP
Weight (tons) = 2 tons
