What does foot pound-force per second measure?

It measures mechanical power as one pound-force applied through a displacement of one foot every second, representing work rate in imperial units.

What is a decijoule per second?

A decijoule per second is an SI-derived unit of power equal to 0.1 watt, used to express small power levels in scientific and engineering settings.

Why convert foot pound-force per second to decijoule per second?

To translate mechanical power from imperial units into a smaller SI unit suitable for precise scientific analysis and comparison at low power scales.
