Convert hectowatt to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to hectowatt.
How to Convert Hectowatt to Newton Meter/second
1 hW = 100 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 hW to N*m/s:
15 hW = 15 × 100 N*m/s = 1500 N*m/s

Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
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.
