About this conversion
This page converts petawatts (PW) into foot-pounds per second (ft-lb/s), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A petawatt is 1e+15 watt units.
Foot-pound per second is an imperial rate of mechanical work, equal to one foot-pound of work performed each second.
The formula is ft-lb/s = PW × 737562149277265, 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.
