What is a kilowatt in terms of power?

A kilowatt is a metric unit of power equal to 1,000 watts and measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

What does foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures mechanical power as the work done in foot-pounds per minute, commonly used in legacy and imperial engineering.

Why convert kilowatts to foot pound-force per minute?

Conversions are useful in mechanical contexts where imperial units are standard or in legacy documentation involving low-speed mechanical work.
