What does foot pound-force/second measure?

It measures mechanical power as the amount of force applied over a distance per second using imperial units.

Why convert foot pound-force/second to calorie (IT)/minute?

Because calorie (IT)/minute expresses heat or energy transfer rates, converting helps interpret mechanical power in thermal or metabolic contexts.

Can I use this tool for all power unit conversions?

This tool specifically converts foot pound-force/second to calorie (IT)/minute and may not support other unit pairs.
