horse power/acceleration

[Jeff W]

dear sir
I am writing to you because I am looking for the correct calculation/formula
for finding the approximate horse power conversion from vehicle weight and
acceleration curve.
    I am presently in Vancouver community college, in Vancouver B.C and my
instructor (Dave William's) gave me your e-mail address feeling that you may
be of some help to me.

vehicle weight + acceleration curve + some other things I don't know=
approximate HP at RPM.
thank you!
