What is a foot pound-force per second?

It is an imperial unit of power representing one pound-force applied through a one-foot displacement every second, commonly used in mechanical power calculations.

When should I convert foot pound-force per second to attowatt?

When you need to express mechanical power in extremely small scientific power units, especially in nanotechnology and experimental physics contexts.

Why are the converted attowatt values so large?

Because one attowatt is 10^-18 watts, converting from a larger mechanical unit results in very large numerical values.
