What does one pound-foot per second signify?

It represents an Imperial unit of power equal to one pound-force foot of work performed per second, measuring energy transfer or mechanical work rate.

In what contexts is calorie (IT)/minute commonly used?

This unit is used in laboratory calorimetry, small-scale thermal engineering, and physiology research to express small continuous heat or energy rates.

Why might the converted values be very large in calorie (IT)/minute?

Because calorie (IT)/minute is a relatively small unit of power, converting large mechanical power values may result in large numerical values.
