What does Pferdestärke (PS) represent?

Pferdestärke (PS) means 'horse strength' and is a metric horsepower unit used primarily in German-speaking countries to express mechanical power.

Why convert PS to kilojoule per minute?

Converting PS to kilojoule per minute helps express mechanical power as an energy transfer rate per minute, useful in physiology, calorimetry, and other fields.

Is Pferdestärke an SI unit?

No, Pferdestärke is not part of the International System of Units; it remains common in regional automotive and historical measurements.
