Pferdestarke
The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.
History/Origin
The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
