Convert joule/second to pound-foot/second
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to pound-foot/second [lbf*ft/s], or Convert pound-foot/second to joule/second.
1 J/s = 0.73756214837 lbf*ft/s. To convert joule/second to pound-foot/second, multiply the value by 0.73756214837; to go the other way, divide by it (1 lbf*ft/s = 1.35581795 J/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
Pound-Foot/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
