How? Explain.

Sadashiva said:   8 years ago
Theoretical power= WQH.
= 10 * 100 * 75.
= 75000KW.

Vai said:   8 years ago
Theoretical power = 75000000 Watt (as calculated above).
1 HP = 746 W.
Theoretical power = 75000000/746 = 100536 HP.

How the value of w is 10?

Mahesh sinh said:   5 years ago
P=WQH/75.
= 1000*100*75/75,
=100000 mhp.

WHQ/0.746 = 10 * 7500/0.746 = 100536Hp.
