Convert pound foot per second to watts
Pound-Foot per Second
The pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is an imperial unit of power representing one foot-pound of mechanical energy transferred per second. It is directly related to horsepower, with one mechanical horsepower equal to 550 foot-pounds per second. One pound-foot per second equals approximately 1.35582 watts.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
