Power Output in Torque and Angular Velocity

Click For Summary
In the formula P=Tw, power (P) is measured in foot-pounds per second (ftlbs/s). This unit can be converted to watts, with 1 ftlb/s equating to approximately 1.356 watts. Additionally, 1 ftlb/s is equivalent to about 0.0001818 horsepower. Understanding these conversions is essential for applications involving torque and angular velocity. The relationship between torque, angular velocity, and power output is crucial in various mechanical and engineering contexts.
