What does one foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures mechanical power as the amount of work done at a rate of one foot-pound-force each minute, typically used in legacy or imperial engineering contexts.

Why convert foot pound-force/minute to decijoule/second?

Converting to decijoule per second allows expressing small power values in an SI-derived unit, facilitating scientific analysis and comparison with electronic or thermal power data.

Is decijoule per second a standard unit in power measurements?

Decijoule per second is an SI-derived unit used for small power levels, though it is less common than watts and may require careful interpretation.
