What is an attowatt used to measure?

An attowatt measures extremely small power levels, such as those in ultra-sensitive detectors, nanoelectronics, and experimental physics.

How is a newton meter per second related to watts?

One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is exactly one watt, making them equivalent units of power.

Why convert attowatts to newton meter per second?

Converting attowatts to newton meter per second helps relate tiny power measurements from scientific contexts to standard mechanical power units used in engineering.
