What does one newton meter per second represent?

One newton meter per second measures power as the rate of doing work or transferring energy, equivalent to one joule per second or one watt.

Why convert power to erg per second (erg/s)?

Erg per second is used in CGS units common in astrophysics and older scientific contexts to express radiative power and luminosities.

Is erg/second commonly used in modern engineering?

No, erg/second is less common in modern engineering, where SI units such as watts predominate.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure units are clearly labeled when converting to avoid confusion between SI and CGS systems
Use this converter for contexts where erg/s is preferred, such as astrophysics or legacy scientific work
Double-check values when converting large or small numbers due to scale differences
Be aware of system differences when interpreting results

Limitations

Erg/second is less common in modern engineering where SI units dominate
Confusion may arise if unit systems are mixed without clear indication
Potential loss of precision if significant figures or scaling are mishandled during conversion
