What does one pound-foot per second measure?

It measures mechanical power as one pound-force foot of work performed every second, indicating the rate of energy transfer.

Why convert to foot pound-force per minute?

This unit helps represent mechanical power at slower work rates and is useful in legacy or imperial systems where power per minute is common.

How do I calculate foot pound-force per minute from pound-foot per second?

Multiply the value in pound-foot per second by 60 to get the equivalent in foot pound-force per minute.
