Displacement Power

Displacement power, abbreviated as P or P_d, is the amount of power required to displace an object a certain distance over time with a known force.  The calculator below determines what the required power is given the inputs on the shown equation.

 

Displacement power formula
\(\large{ P = \frac {F}{\delta} \; t }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ P }\) = power	\(\large{\frac{ft-lbf}{sec}}\)	\(\large{W}\)
\(\large{ F }\) = force	\(\large{ lbf }\)	\(\large{ N }\)
\(\large{ \delta }\)  (Greek symbol delta) = displacement	\(\large{ ft }\)	\(\large{ m }\)
\(\large{ t }\) = time	\(\large{ sec }\)	\(\large{ s }\)
