What is an exawatt used for?

An exawatt is used to describe extremely large power levels such as planetary energy flows or astrophysical phenomena.

Why convert exawatts into foot pound-force per hour?

Converting to foot pound-force/hour helps translate large SI power values into legacy imperial units for mechanical work rate analysis.

Is foot pound-force/hour suitable for scientific work?

This unit is a non-SI measure and is generally less appropriate for modern scientific applications compared to watts.
