What does a milliwatt measure?

A milliwatt measures power as one thousandth of a watt, representing energy transfer of one joule per second.

When should I use foot pound-force per minute?

This unit is useful for reporting small mechanical power in imperial or legacy engineering contexts, especially for torque-related power at low speeds.

Why convert milliwatts to foot pound-force/minute?

Converting allows translation between electrical/optical power and mechanical power units, facilitating comparison or reporting where imperial units are preferred.
