-
Convert 100 attojoules/second which equals 4.42537289567e-15 foot pound-force/minute.
Common Use Cases
-
Describing ultra-low power consumption in microelectronic sensors and IoT devices.
-
Measuring energy transfer in quantum devices like superconducting qubits.
-
Reporting small mechanical power in legacy imperial engineering documentation.
-
Estimating power from low-speed torque applications such as manual tools or pumps.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter to translate very small nanoscale power values into mechanical units for clearer interpretation.
-
Verify unit selections carefully to ensure accurate conversions.
-
Consider the limitations of non-SI units when working with extremely small power levels.
-
Review converted results to confirm they align with expected scales in your application.
Limitations
-
Attojoule/second values represent power levels often too small for mechanical device sensitivity.
-
Foot pound-force/minute is a non-SI unit and less suitable for nanoscale power accuracy.
-
Conversion results involve very tiny numbers, which may be subject to rounding issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does attojoule/second measure?
-
An attojoule per second quantifies extremely small rates of energy transfer, equal to 10^-18 joules per second or 10^-18 watts.
-
Why use foot pound-force per minute units?
-
Foot pound-force per minute is a mechanical power unit useful for legacy engineering documents and estimating power from torque at low rotational speeds in imperial units.
-
Is foot pound-force/minute an SI unit?
-
No, foot pound-force per minute is a non-SI unit commonly used in imperial measurement systems.
