Torque is twisting force - newton meters or lb ft, gets you off the line and pushes a lot of weight. HP describes how much work is done over a given period of time, or the rate which work is done, so speed. If I knew more about physics, I might be able to explain why the two cross paths at 5250 rpm. Maybe a trip through the googlesphere will help...
They cross at 5252 because that is how the relationship is defined.
HP=(T*rpm)/5252. Nothing to do with physics. Do the math and see what rpm you get when HP=T.
Horsepower and watts are equivalent units. Both are instantaneous measurements and have nothing to do with "over a given period of time".
Horsepower is what does ALL work!!!

I rounded to 5250, it's what I had recalled.
Isn't the rate of something a description of some measure over a given period of time?

Power is the instantaneous rate of work being done. Think of the work it takes to light a 100W light bulb. Energy is the rate x time (think of your electric bill being kW*hrs).
