The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "One horse power is equal to:", we need to know the conversion between horsepower and watts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Units**: - Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power that is commonly used to measure the power output of engines and motors. - Watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second. 2. **Know the Conversion Factor**: - The standard conversion factor is that 1 horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - Now, let's look at the options provided: - (a) 1000W - (b) 500W - (c) 764W - (d) 746W 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: - Since we know that 1 horsepower = 746 watts, we can see that option (d) 746W is the correct answer. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the answer to the question "One horse power is equal to:" is (d) 746W.
