This guide explains how to convert watts (W) to foot-pounds per minute (ft-lb/min), which is useful in mechanical and engineering applications. Knowing how to convert these units can help you understand power and energy transfer rates.

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

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

1 watt is approximately equal to 44.2537 foot-pounds per minute.

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

Foot-pounds per Minute = Watts ÷ 0.0226

Let’s convert 100 watts to foot-pounds per minute:

100 W ÷ 0.0226 = 4,425.37 ft-lb/min

Therefore, 100 watts is approximately equal to 4,425.37 foot-pounds per minute.
