What does foot pound-force per second measure?

It measures mechanical power as the rate of one pound-force moving through one foot every second, expressed in imperial units.

Why convert to hectojoule per second?

This unit provides a convenient metric scale for power, useful in electrical, heating, or small appliance contexts, making comparisons with SI units easier.

Is hectojoule per second the same as watts?

One hectojoule per second equals 100 watts, so it is a multiple of the standard watt unit.
