What does microjoule per second measure?

Microjoule per second measures very small power levels, representing the transfer of one microjoule of energy every second.

Why use foot pound-force per hour instead of watts?

Foot pound-force per hour is used mainly in legacy imperial systems to express mechanical work rates or energy throughput, especially in historical or field engineering contexts.

Is the foot pound-force/hour unit widely accepted in scientific fields?

No, it is a non-SI unit and less commonly used in standardized scientific communication, limiting its applicability.
