What does 1 inch-pound represent?

It represents one pound-force applied over one inch, a unit of energy or torque typically used in US customary engineering.

Why convert inch-pounds to megatons?

To relate small mechanical energies to very large explosive energies for scientific or comparative studies.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

No, because the energy difference is extremely large, making many results too small for practical applications.
