What is a centijoule per second (cJ/s)?

A centijoule per second is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a joule per second, equivalent to 0.01 watts. It quantifies very small steady power levels in scientific and engineering contexts.

What does pound-foot per second measure?

Pound-foot per second is an Imperial unit of power that represents one pound-force foot of work done per second. It describes the rate of energy transfer or mechanical work.

Why convert from cJ/s to pound-foot/second?

Conversion is useful for analyzing very small metric-based power values in contexts requiring Imperial mechanical power units, such as torque and rotational speed calculations in US customary engineering.
