How to convert 42.27 lb-s^1/ft^-1 to hp? I know that 550 lb-ft/s is equal to 1 hp
but I do not know how to continue solving it since there are negative exponents
in the given problem and the ft and s are switched. Thank you so much!

"hp" in this post is the "horse power", a unit of mechanical power.
First, the dimension lb-s^1/ft^-1 (at 42.27 in your post)
is the same as the dimension lb-ft/s (at 550 in your post).

| they are consistent, they are simply the same dimension unit. |

Second, if 550 lb-ft/s is 1 hp, then 42.27 lb-ft/s is = 0.0769 hp.
That's all.
