To convert watts to cubic centimeters (cc), we need to consider the displacement of an engine. The displacement is the volume swept by the piston in one complete cycle of the engine. It is typically measured in cubic centimeters (cc) or liters (l).
In general, the higher the displacement of an engine, the more power it can produce. However, the exact relationship between displacement and power is influenced by several other factors such as engine design, efficiency, and operating conditions.
For reference, here are some typical displacement ranges for different types of engines:
- Small gasoline engines: 50-250 cc
- Motorcycle engines: 125-1000 cc
- Car engines: 1000-6000 cc
- Truck engines: 2000-12000 cc
Therefore, based on the provided power of 8 hp, we can estimate the displacement of an engine to be in the range of several hundred to several thousand cc. However, without more detailed information about the specific engine design and operating conditions, it is not possible to provide a precise conversion from horsepower to cubic centimeters.
