What does one pound-foot per minute represent?

It is an imperial unit of mechanical power describing the work done when a force of one pound-force moves one foot in one minute.

Why convert pound-foot/minute to femtojoule/second?

This conversion allows comparison of mechanical power in imperial units with extremely small SI units used for nano-scale and quantum-level energy measurements.

Is femtojoule/second suitable for general power measurements?

No, femtojoule/second measures extremely tiny power levels typically found in nanoelectronics and experimental physics, not general mechanical power.
