-
Refer to examples to understand practical applications of the conversion
-
Verify input values to avoid errors in the conversion process
Limitations
-
Millijoule/second suits low-power electronic and optical measurements better than mechanical power
-
Foot pound-force/second is typically used for small mechanical powers, so conversion at extreme ranges can be less intuitive
-
Rounding may affect precision in some calculations
-
Users should be cautious to maintain unit consistency across involved measurements
