About Converting Deciwatts to Foot-pounds per second
Deciwatt and Foot-pound per second both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Deciwatt is 0.1 watt units, and mechanical power rate.
Formula
foot-pounds per second = deciwatts × 0.0737562149277
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, and 1 foot-pound per second equals 1.35581794833 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciwatt-to-foot-pound per second factor of 0.0737562149277.
Simple example
1 dW × 0.07375621493 = 0.0737562149 ft-lb/s
1 deciwatt = 0.0737562149 foot-pounds per second.
Real-world example
100 dW × 0.07375621493 = 7.375621493 ft-lb/s
100 deciwatts = 7.375621493 foot-pounds per second.
