Torque is the measurement of turning force. A wrench applies torque to a bolt. A motor or engine provides torque to do work.
Horsepower is the measurement of the work done or ability to do work. This is done by taking the speed the engine is operating at (RPM) and what torque it is producing and applying a formula to give a horsepower rating.

What horsepower is 18.5 gross ft pounds of torque?
There isn't a direct conversion between horsepower and torque in foot-pounds. Horsepower is a measure of power, while torque measures rotational force. Horsepower can be calculated using a formula that includes torque and engine speed.
What is the horsepower and torque on 1991 Chevrolet 454 engine tonawanda engine?
The horsepower of a 1991 Chevrolet 454 cubic inch engine ranges between 240 horsepower and 350 horsepower the engine torque ranges between 700 pounds and 850 pounds.
What is the difference between a 1000 and 500 when it comes to motorcycles?
A 1000 is known as a liter-bike or 1000cc motorcycle. A 500 is a 500cc or half-liter-bike. cc means cubic centimeters which is the size of the piston(s). The difference between, at present circa 2010, a 1000cc and a 500cc motorcycle is size, weight, horsepower and torque; the 1000 is going to have 150+/- horsepower and 115+/- Nm(newton meters) ft/lbs. of torque; the 500 will have around 50+/- horsepower, 30+/-Nm(newton meters) ft./lbs. of torque.
How much horsepower and torque for an l32?
260 horsepower 280 torque
How much horsepower is 4.50 torque?
Torque is "twisting power" whereas horsepower is motivational. They do not directly translate. Had to guess it is between 4HP and 6HP. Sorry but precision is no available!
How much torque can you get with 400 horsepower?
Torque(lb/ft) = (5252 * horsepower) / RPM
What is the horsepower and torque of a suzuki boulevard c90?
what is the horsepower and torque of the suzuki boulevard c90
How many horsepower is 6.25 gross torque?
Torque and horsepower are two separate ratings.
Why is the relationship between torque horsepower and RPM not linear In automobile terms.?
It is, Horsepower = Torque x RPM, but Torque is not constant across the rev range of an engine. For gasoline engines, there is generally very little torque at low rpms, generally flat torque across the middle rpms, and then a drop off as the engine starts spinning too fast for complete combustion. Electric engines, on the other hand, start off with maximum torque and decrease with higher engine speed. So, the short answer to your question is that it's a direct relationship between horsepower and torque, but the variation in the torque curve across the rpm range makes the resultant horsepower curve vary too. (If your question was really why does torque vary with rpm, simply stated it's because engines have varying efficiencies at different speeds.)

What is the difference between dynamic torque and static torque ratings?
One difference between dynamic torque and static torque is the level of difficulty to measure. Static torque is each to measure, while dynamic torque is not. This is because it requires a transfer of an electric or magnetic effect.
Is there a difference between a hemi 265 and a hemi 245?
The difference between a hemi 265 and a hemi 245 is the horsepower. The 265 has a 218 @ 4,800 gross horsepower while the 245 has 165 @ 4,400 gross horsepower.
What is the difference between brake horsepower and horsepower?
The difference between brake horsepower and horsepower or wheel horsepower, they are the same thing, is that brake horse power is the power produced by the crank. The wheel horsepower is the amount of power delivered to the wheels. Brake horsepower refers to the method used to test the engine. A brake is attached to the engine and used to maintain the engine at a constant RPM at full throttle. The delivered power output is then a simple calculation of RPM times torque. Horse power is based on the average amount of work that a horse could do in a day. It is taken to be 746watts. well you guessed it engine output is also specified in kilowatts so divide by 746 and you have horsepower. As stated above it is all the same thing. There is a difference between advertised horsepower and brake horsepower. Advertised horsepower is what a manufacturer will rate its engine/automobile/machine to produce. Brake horsepower is the actual measured horsepower, for example, of a motor on an engine dynamometer.
