What does one petajoule per second represent?

One petajoule per second equals 10^15 joules per second, representing a very large power unit commonly used for national or planetary energy flows.

Why convert from petajoule per second to foot pound-force per hour?

Converting allows for comparison or integration of very large SI power measurements with small legacy imperial units found in some mechanical engineering and historical contexts.

Are results from this conversion practical for everyday use?

Because of the enormous difference in scale, the converted values are typically very large and less practical for most daily applications.
