What does one joule per second represent?

One joule per second represents the SI derived unit of power, measuring the rate of energy transfer equal to one watt.

When should I use pound-foot per second?

Pound-foot per second is used mainly in US customary engineering to calculate mechanical power from torque and rotational speed.

How accurate is the conversion between J/s and pound-foot/second?

The conversion uses a fixed factor, but precision can be limited by rounding errors during calculations.
