Converting foot-pounds per minute to watts is useful for understanding energy transfer rates, especially in mechanical systems. This guide will walk you through the process of converting foot-pounds per minute (ft-lb/min) to watts (W).

The formula to convert foot-pounds per minute (ft-lb/min) to watts (W) is:

Watts (W) = Foot-pounds per Minute (ft-lb/min) × 0.0226

Where 1 foot-pound per minute is approximately equal to 0.0226 watts.

To convert foot-pounds per minute to watts, multiply the number of foot-pounds per minute by 0.0226:

Watts (W) = Foot-pounds per Minute (ft-lb/min) × 0.0226

Let’s convert 500 foot-pounds per minute to watts:

500 ft-lb/min × 0.0226 = 11.3 W

Therefore, 500 foot-pounds per minute is approximately equal to 11.3 watts.
