Best Answer

that would be specific to the object involved. for example, if you needed to find the surface area of the inside of a cylinder in an engine, i could help you find out how much that cylinder can displace, helping you find horsepower for that cylinder. then you could multiply that number by the number of cylinders the engine has to give you the total horsepower of the engine.
