About Converting Picowatts to Foot-pounds per second
Picowatt 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: Picowatt is 1e-12 watt units, and mechanical power rate.
Formula
foot-pounds per second = picowatts × 7.375621e-13
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 picowatt equals 1e-12 base units, and 1 foot-pound per second equals 1.35581794833 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct picowatt-to-foot-pound per second factor of 7.375621e-13.
Simple example
1 pW × 7.375621e-13 = 7.375621e-13 ft-lb/s
1 picowatt = 7.375621e-13 foot-pounds per second.
Real-world example
100 pW × 7.375621e-13 = 7.375621e-11 ft-lb/s
100 picowatts = 7.375621e-11 foot-pounds per second.
