Horsepower = (Displacement in cubic inches) * (RPM / 2296)
First, we need to convert the displacement from cubic centimeters (cc) to cubic inches (cu in):
Displacement = 141 cc * (1 cu in / 16.387 cc) = 8.6 cu in
Next, we need to estimate the RPM (revolutions per minute) of the snow thrower engine. Since the specific model or manufacturer is not provided, we can assume a typical range for a 141 cc 2-cycle snow thrower engine:
RPM range: 3000 - 4000 RPM
Now, let's calculate the horsepower at both the lower and upper ends of the estimated RPM range:
1. At 3000 RPM:
Horsepower = (8.6 cu in) * (3000 RPM / 2296) ≈ 1.14 HP
2. At 4000 RPM:
Horsepower = (8.6 cu in) * (4000 RPM / 2296) ≈ 1.52 HP
Therefore, the horsepower of a 141 cc 2-cycle snow thrower is approximately between 1.14 HP and 1.52 HP, depending on the actual RPM of the engine.
