What does a nanowatt measure?

A nanowatt is an SI-derived unit of power representing one-billionth of a watt, used to measure very low rates of energy transfer.

Why convert nanowatts to newton meter per second?

Converting nanowatts to newton meter per second allows comparison between electrical power and mechanical power units, useful in engineering and physics applications.

Are conversions at such small power levels accurate?

Accuracy can be limited due to measurement precision and environmental noise affecting extremely low power levels.
