What does one watt represent in terms of energy?

One watt equals one joule of energy transferred or converted per second, measuring the rate of work or energy usage.

Why use foot pound-force per minute instead of watts?

Foot pound-force per minute is used mainly in legacy or imperial systems to report low mechanical power involving torque and rotational speed in minutes.

How do I convert watts to foot pound-force per minute?

Multiply the watt value by approximately 44.2537 to obtain the equivalent foot pound-force per minute.
