What does one watt represent?

One watt equals the transfer or conversion of one joule of energy per second, measuring power as energy rate.

When should I use foot pound-force per hour?

This unit is useful for expressing small mechanical power in legacy imperial systems, especially in mechanical engineering and historical contexts.

Why convert watts to foot pound-force per hour?

Converting helps interpret power in older imperial unit systems and aids comparisons or documentation involving small power machinery.
