What does one centiwatt represent?

One centiwatt equals one hundredth of a watt and is used to measure very low power electrical energy transfer rates.

What is a pound-foot per second?

A pound-foot per second is an Imperial unit representing power, defined as one pound-force foot of work done each second.

Why convert centiwatt to pound-foot per second?

Converting enables comparing electrical power values with mechanical power rates in Imperial units, useful for engineering and legacy data analysis.
