What does foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures mechanical power as the rate of doing work equal to one foot-pound-force of work performed each minute.

What is a hectojoule per second (hJ/s)?

A hectojoule per second is a power unit representing 100 joules of energy transferred per second, equivalent to 100 watts.

Why convert from foot pound-force per minute to hJ/s?

Conversion expresses mechanical power in SI-derived units, enabling easier comparison with electrical or heating power values.
