What does one foot pound-force per minute represent?

It is a unit of power indicating the rate of mechanical work of one foot-pound-force completed each minute, commonly used in imperial engineering.

Why convert foot pound-force/minute to terajoule per second?

This conversion helps compare or aggregate small mechanical power levels into very large power scales used in energy planning and power grid analysis.

Are there any challenges in converting these units?

Yes, due to the vast scale difference, output values are extremely small, which can cause precision issues or loss of significance in numerical calculations.
