What is one horsepower (metric) hour?

It is the energy produced by sustaining one metric horsepower for one hour, equal to about 2,647,795.5 joules.

What does kilogram-force centimeter represent?

It is a non-SI unit of energy equivalent to the work done by a force of one kilogram-force over a distance of one centimeter.

Why convert horsepower hours to kilogram-force centimeters?

To express large engine energy output in smaller mechanical energy units used in older engineering contexts or for analyzing small-scale mechanical work.
