What is the difference between horsepower and kilowatts?
ANSWERHorsepower (hp) is a measurement unit that measures power in foot pounds per time (ft-lbs/t).Kilowatts (kW - 1000 watts) is a measurement unit that measures the work done when a force of one newton moves the point of its application a distance of one metre in the direction of the force.kW is the capacity to do work (like a standing horse)kWh is a measure of power - the amount of work done in one hour *(horsepower)*Horsepower is the rate at which a horse can do work in a given amount of time (distance x force/time):550 ft-lbs./sec or 33,000 ft-lbs/minute or 1,980,000 ft-lbs/hour.1 kW = 1.34 hp and 1 kW = 2,655,223 ft-lb/hour1.34 x 2,655,223 = (approx.) 1,980,000 ft-lbs/hour or 1 hp

How much 140 cubic foot concrete is in kg?
The density of concrete varies, but is about 150 lb/cu ft. mass = density x volume = 140 cu ft x 150 lb/cu ft = 21000 lb 1 lb ≈ 0.454 kg → 21000 lb ≈ 21000 x 0.454 kg ≈ 9525 kg (= 9.525 tonnes)

What is the volume of a 10ft. X 6ft. X 22in. rectangle?
A "10 ft x 6 ft x 22 in" object is not a rectangle; a rectangle is a 2 dimensional shape whereas that is a three dimensional object - it is a cuboid.To calculate the volume of a "10 ft x 6 ft x 22 in" cuboid you need to work in one unit - either feet or inches:12 in = 1 ft⇒ 10 ft x 6 ft x 22 in = 10 ft x 6 ft x (22 ÷ 12) ft= 110 cu ftor:1 ft = 12 in⇒ 10 ft x 6 ft x 22 in = (10 x 12) in x (6 x 12) in x 22 in= 190080 cu in
