What is a picowatt used to measure?

A picowatt quantifies very small power levels such as noise in sensitive detectors or ultra-low power electronics.

Why convert picowatts to foot pound-force per hour?

This conversion helps translate tiny SI power units to mechanical units commonly used in legacy imperial engineering contexts.

Is foot pound-force/hour an SI unit?

No, foot pound-force/hour is a non-SI unit typically used in older imperial measurement systems.
