What is a femtowatt used to measure?

A femtowatt measures extremely small power levels, such as signal power or noise in sensitive electronic systems like photodetectors and nanoscale devices.

How does newton meter per second relate to watts?

One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is equivalent to one watt; it's often used to represent mechanical power.

Why convert femtowatt to newton meter/second?

Converting femtowatt to newton meter/second helps compare ultra-low power electrical signals to mechanical power units, useful in scientific and engineering contexts.
