About this conversion
This page converts foot-pounds per second (ft-lb/s) into petawatts (PW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
Foot-pound per second is an imperial rate of mechanical work, equal to one foot-pound of work performed each second.
A petawatt is 1e+15 watt units.
The formula is PW = ft-lb/s × 1.355817948e-15, derived from each unit's fixed relationship to the watt, the SI unit of power.
Because both units are defined by exact numeric relationships to the watt, this conversion is exact rather than approximate.
