What does one newton meter per second represent?

It represents power as the rate of doing work or transferring energy, equal to one joule per second or one watt.

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

Foot pound-force per hour is used mainly for expressing very small power values or legacy imperial units in historical or engineering contexts.

How do I convert between newton meter/second and foot pound-force/hour?

Multiply the value in newton meter/second by 2655.223737402 to get the equivalent in foot pound-force/hour.
