What does one exawatt represent?

One exawatt (EW) is an SI unit of power equal to 10^18 watts, used to measure extremely large rates of energy transfer.

Why convert exawatt to foot pound-force per second?

This conversion helps express huge SI power values in imperial units often used in mechanical engineering and torque calculations.

Is foot pound-force per second suitable for large power values?

Foot pound-force per second is typically used for relatively small mechanical powers and using it for exawatt levels is mostly theoretical.
