    Are you are trying to clarify your earlier post?

    In my response to that one I gave you a formula for converting torque and motor RPM to HP, so you should be able to complete this on your own. Try it and post back what you think the answer is.

    I am just trying to keep the info simple for the answer the force is 100 lbs x 300 torque arm x 500 rpm = 15,000,000 ft lbs /5252= 2856 hp is this correct??
