What is foot pound-force per second a measure of?

Foot pound-force per second is an imperial unit of power that represents one pound-force applied through a one-foot displacement every second, used primarily for small mechanical power.

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

Converting to megajoule per second allows translation of mechanical power into a large-scale SI unit suitable for industrial and power generation applications.

Can this conversion be used for very large power values?

Foot pound-force/second is typically limited to small to moderate power levels and is less practical for very large power systems, where megajoule/second or megawatt units are preferred.
