About Megawatt
One megawatt is one million watts. Utility generation, large drives, and grid studies use MW.
About Foot-pound per Second
Foot-pounds per second is a mechanical power rate: 1 ft·lb/s = 1.3558179483314004 W (exactly, from the international foot definition).
How to convert megawatts to foot-pounds per second
1 megawatt is equal to 737562.14927726541646 foot-pound per second when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 megaw = (1,000,000 W ÷ 1.3558179483314003 W) ft_lb_s = 737562.14927726541646 ft_lb_s
Each megawatt is defined as 1,000,000 W and each foot-pound per second as 1.3558179483314003 W in this tool, so one megaw equals 1,000,000 ÷ 1.3558179483314003 ft_lb_s = 737562.14927726541646 ft_lb_s.
Let d(megaw) be the numeric value in Megawatt (megaw), and d(ft_lb_s) the value in Foot-pound per Second (ft_lb_s). Then:
d(ft_lb_s) = d(megaw) × (1,000,000 / 1.3558179483314003)
Equivalently, divide by how many megaw fit into one ft_lb_s (watts per ft_lb_s divided by watts per megaw):
d(ft_lb_s) = d(megaw) ÷ 0.00000135581795
Or: foot-pound per second = megawatt ÷ 0.00000135581795
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 megaw to foot-pound per second
1 megaw = 1 megaw × (1,000,000/1.3558179483314003) ft_lb_s = 737562.149277 ft_lb_s
1 megaw = 1 megaw ÷ 0.00000135581795 = 737562.149277 ft_lb_s
Intermediate watts: 1,000,000 W
Example #2: Convert 10 megaw to foot-pound per second
10 megaw = 10 megaw × (1,000,000/1.3558179483314003) ft_lb_s = 7375621.4927700004 ft_lb_s
10 megaw = 10 megaw ÷ 0.00000135581795 = 7375621.4927700004 ft_lb_s
Intermediate watts: 10,000,000 W
Summary
To convert Megawatt to Foot-pound per Second, multiply the value in megaw by the ratio of watts per megaw divided by watts per ft_lb_s. Equivalently: value_ft_lb_s = value_megaw × (1000000 / 1.3558179483314003). Numerically, 1 megaw equals 737562.1492772654 ft_lb_s.
