Glossary » Units » Power (Heat Flow) » Foot-Poundal Per Second
Foot-Poundal Per Second (ft-pdl/s) is a unit in the category of Power (Heat flow). It is also known as foot poundal per second. This unit is commonly used in the UK, FPS unit systems. Foot-Poundal Per Second (ft-pdl/s) has a dimension of ML2T-3 where M is mass, L is length, and T is time. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit W by multiplying its value by a factor of 0.042140111.
Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).
