What does a picowatt measure?

A picowatt is a very small unit of power equal to one trillionth of a watt, used to describe extremely low power levels.

Why convert picowatts to foot pound-force per minute?

To translate tiny electrical power values into mechanical power units used in legacy imperial engineering and for analyzing certain low-power mechanical systems.

Is foot pound-force per minute a standard unit?

No, foot pound-force per minute is a non-SI unit mainly used in imperial systems and older engineering contexts.
