Work done per unit of time is defined as power. In the metric system, this unit is a watt. In the standard system, it is horsepower.
it is the amount of power
The 'ERG' is the standard unit for work or mechanical energy.
The joule (J) is named after James Prescott Joule. One joule is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object through a distance of one metre.
A metric conversion calculator can make the comparison between metric and U.S. Standard units much easier to understand and much faster than doing the work by hand.
Work is transfer of energy; thus, the unit of work is the same as the unit of energy. The SI unit is called "Joule".Work is transfer of energy; thus, the unit of work is the same as the unit of energy.

joules
Same as the unit of energy: the joule.
In simple terms its a Joule
The standard unit for both is the joule.

You don't, because horsepower is not a metric unit. Horsepower is a unit of work, so the metric equivalent would be the watt. There are several different definitions of horsepower, which work out to somewhere between about 730-750 watts depending on precisely which one you use.

The standard force is measured in newton. The newton, symbol: N, is the SI derived unit of force, named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. The newton is the unit of force derived in the SI system; it is equal to the amount of force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second squared.
