What does one pound-foot per minute represent?

It represents mechanical power where one pound-force moves one foot within one minute.

How is a hectojoule per second related to watts?

One hectojoule per second equals 100 watts since it is equivalent to 100 joules per second.

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

To translate legacy imperial mechanical power units into SI-based units for easier comparison and calculation with modern electrical or thermal power values.
