What does a pound-foot per second measure?

It measures mechanical power as the rate of work done, specifically the power from one pound-force foot per second.

When is attowatt used?

Attowatt is used to express extremely small power levels, especially in scientific and engineering fields like nanoelectronics and ultra-sensitive detectors.

Why convert from pound-foot per second to attowatt?

To compare or analyze mechanical power given in large Imperial units against very small power levels relevant in nanoscale or quantum measurements.
