Neither, RPM is not a variable number, nor is the horsepower, in relation to each other. However the variance comes when you are trying to calculate TQ vs. the RPM.
The 5252 never changes, as this is a constant (unless you are factoring in parasitic losses in the particular system), but the tq and hp numbers are derived from each other. However, the amount of tq required to reach a certain hp number is derived from the RPMs.
