Key Features
-
Converts small electrical power units (deciwatt) to mechanical power units (newton meter per second).
-
Based on a direct conversion factor: 1 dW = 0.1 N·m/s.
-
Useful for engineering, laboratory, and technical power measurements.
-
Browser-based and straightforward to use for quick conversions.
Examples
-
Convert 5 dW: 5 × 0.1 N·m/s = 0.5 N·m/s.
-
Convert 12 dW: 12 × 0.1 N·m/s = 1.2 N·m/s.
Common Use Cases

Unit conversion may not capture all application-specific measurement nuances.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does a deciwatt measure?
-
A deciwatt measures power, specifically one tenth of a watt, often used for low power levels in electronics.
-
How is newton meter per second related to watts?
-
One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is equivalent to one watt, making it a mechanical power unit.
-
When should I use this conversion?
-
Use this conversion when you need to express small electrical power values in mechanical power units, such as for analyzing motors or low-power devices.
Key Terminology
-
Deciwatt (dW)
-
A unit of power equal to 0.1 watt, used to measure small electrical power levels.
-
Newton meter per second (N·m/s)
-
A mechanical power unit equivalent to one joule per second or one watt, representing the rate of doing work.
