Sponge Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 power:weight = Power / weight Is this any good? http://www.ajdesigner.com/phphorsepower/horsepower_equation_power_to_weight_ratio.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Calculation is power divided by weight times 1000. 281/1830 = 0.1535 X 1000 = 153.5hp/ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
