What does Foot water (60°F) [ftAq] represent?

It represents the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot high column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Where is Ton-force (long)/square foot commonly used?

It is used in estimating foundation bearing pressures, shipbuilding load capacities, and interpreting older imperial engineering documents.

Why is temperature important in this conversion?

Because Foot water (60°F) [ftAq] is defined specifically at 60°F; temperature changes affect the water's properties and therefore pressure values.
