What does 1 hectojoule/second represent in watts?

One hectojoule per second is equal to 100 watts, measuring the rate of energy transfer per second.

Why use pound-foot per minute for power?

Pound-foot per minute is an imperial unit used to express mechanical power especially in contexts involving torque and rotational speed.

Is this conversion precise for scientific work?

The conversion provides a close approximation but pound-foot per minute is less common scientifically and may involve rounding over metric units.
