Convert femtowatt to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert femtowatt [fW] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to femtowatt.
How to Convert Femtowatt to Newton Meter/second
1 fW = 1e-15 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 fW to N*m/s:
15 fW = 15 × 1e-15 N*m/s = 1.5e-14 N*m/s

Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
