What does one pound-foot per minute represent?

It represents mechanical power as the rate of work done when a one pound-force moves through one foot in a minute.

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

To express mechanical power measured in imperial units into very small SI power units used in ultra-low power electronics and precision energy fields.

Are pound-foot/minute and nanojoule/second commonly used together?

No, pound-foot/minute is common in mechanical engineering, whereas nanojoule/second is typical in microelectronics and nano-scale energy research.
