What is a megawatt used for?

A megawatt quantifies power output in large-scale power plants, wind or solar farms, and city-scale electricity demand.

Why convert megawatts to foot pound-force per minute?

This conversion is helpful to express large electrical power in mechanical work units used in legacy or imperial engineering contexts.

Is foot pound-force per minute a standard unit?

No, it is a non-SI unit mostly used in imperial systems for mechanical power, especially in historical or specialized engineering settings.
