There is two motors, both motors having same hp, rpm, frequency but the rpm is different. For example one motor is 5hp, 3phase, 50hz, 1440 rpm. Second motor is 5hp,3phase,50hz,3000rpm. What is the current for both motors.

The calculation of current does not depend on the rpm you just need hp and voltage. A simple formula is 1 hp = 746 watts, and current = watts divided by voltage.

Efficiency is the machine's output power, divided by its input power. Both must be expressed in the same units of measurement, normally the watt. The output power can be calculated from the torque it produces, using a device such as a Prony brake or a dynamometer. The input power can be calculated using a wattmeter.

Efficiency can be expressed either as a 'per unit' value (e.g. 0.85) or as a 'percentage' (e.g. 85%).

It depends on the type of motor, its size and whether it's AC or DC.

For a DC motor it depends on the armature resistance, and the field winding resistance for a series motor. A resistor may be added to limit the starting current. For AC it depends mainly on the inductance of the field winding.

How do you calculate motor wattage from its resistance?

All you can do is get in the ballpark knowing resistance of windings and the supply voltage. Current = Voltage divided by resistance. Wattage = voltage x current x power factor. For a motor the power factor is between zero and sone number less than one, with one being just a resistive load. So if you calculate the current and use a PF = 1 you can get worse case wattage.
