What does one foot pound-force per minute represent?

It represents the work done of one foot-pound-force performed every minute, a measure of mechanical power in legacy imperial units.

How is the newton meter per second related to watts?

One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is equivalent to one watt, the SI unit of power.

Why convert foot pound-force per minute to newton meter per second?

Converting helps translate imperial power units to SI units like watts for standardized engineering calculations and interoperability.
