What are Pound-foot/second and Centiwatt

Definition of Pound-foot/second

The Pound-foot/second (lbf·ft/s) measures the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred when a force of one pound-force (lbf) moves an object a distance of one foot in one second. This unit combines elements of both force and speed, reflecting the power exerted in a mechanical system. It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify power in systems where force and motion are involved, providing a clear understanding of how effective a given force is over time.

Definition of Centiwatt

A Centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equivalent to one-hundredth of a watt. Power measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. In small-scale applications, the centiwatt is particularly useful for quantifying power in electronic devices and other low-energy systems. It allows for precise calculations and measurements in contexts where the standard watt unit might be too large, thereby facilitating better design and analysis in engineering and scientific research.
