What is a foot pound-force per second?

It is an imperial unit of power defined as one pound-force applied through a one-foot displacement every second, equating to about 1.3558 watts.

What does a centijoule per second measure?

A centijoule per second is a power unit equal to one hundredth of a joule transferred per second, representing very small power levels common in scientific and engineering applications.

Why convert foot pound-force/second to centijoule/second?

Converting to centijoule/second helps express power values on a smaller, more precise scale suitable for low power measurements in electronics, mechanical engineering, and scientific research.
