What does pound-foot per second measure?

Pound-foot per second measures mechanical power as the rate of work done, expressed in Imperial (US customary) units.

Why convert pound-foot/second to nanowatt?

Converting to nanowatt helps translate mechanical power values into very small units used in electronic and photonic power measurements.

Are there any challenges in converting these units?

Yes, because of the large difference in magnitude, converted numbers can be extremely big and require careful handling.
