About Milliwatt
One milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt. Common in RF, fiber optics, and low-power electronics.
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 milliwatts to foot-pounds per second
1 milliwatt is equal to 0.00073756214928 foot-pound per second when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 mw = (0.001 W ÷ 1.3558179483314003 W) ft_lb_s = 0.00073756214928 ft_lb_s
Each milliwatt is defined as 0.001 W and each foot-pound per second as 1.3558179483314003 W in this tool, so one mw equals 0.001 ÷ 1.3558179483314003 ft_lb_s = 0.00073756214928 ft_lb_s.
Let d(mw) be the numeric value in Milliwatt (mw), and d(ft_lb_s) the value in Foot-pound per Second (ft_lb_s). Then:
d(ft_lb_s) = d(mw) × (0.001 / 1.3558179483314003)
Equivalently, divide by how many mw fit into one ft_lb_s (watts per ft_lb_s divided by watts per mw):
d(ft_lb_s) = d(mw) ÷ 1355.81794833140043
Or: foot-pound per second = milliwatt ÷ 1355.81794833140043
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mw to foot-pound per second
1 mw = 1 mw × (0.001/1.3558179483314003) ft_lb_s = 0.0007375621 ft_lb_s
1 mw = 1 mw ÷ 1355.81794833140043 = 0.0007375621 ft_lb_s
Intermediate watts: 0.001 W
Example #2: Convert 10 mw to foot-pound per second
10 mw = 10 mw × (0.001/1.3558179483314003) ft_lb_s = 0.0073756215 ft_lb_s
10 mw = 10 mw ÷ 1355.81794833140043 = 0.0073756215 ft_lb_s
Intermediate watts: 0.01 W
Summary
To convert Milliwatt to Foot-pound per Second, multiply the value in mw by the ratio of watts per mw divided by watts per ft_lb_s. Equivalently: value_ft_lb_s = value_mw × (0.001 / 1.3558179483314003). Numerically, 1 mw equals 0.0007375621492772654 ft_lb_s.
Relationship context
You are converting between SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Milliwatts) and mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Foot-pounds per Second). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 7.375621e-4.
