What is a dekawatt (daW)?

A dekawatt is a metric unit of power equal to ten watts, used to measure energy transfer rates or work done over time.

Why convert dekawatts to foot pound-force per second?

Converting to foot pound-force per second helps express power in imperial units preferred in mechanical engineering that uses feet and pounds.

How is foot pound-force per second defined?

It is the mechanical power corresponding to one pound-force moving through one foot in one second, used for expressing power with imperial measurements.
