What does one pound-foot/second measure?

One pound-foot/second measures mechanical power as one pound-force foot of work performed per second in the Imperial system.

How is a hectojoule/second related to watts?

A hectojoule/second equals 100 watts since one joule per second corresponds to one watt.

Why convert pound-foot/second to hectojoule/second?

Converting allows translation of mechanical power in Imperial units to SI-related units, facilitating uniform reporting and comparison in engineering and scientific applications.
