What does 1 pound-force square second/foot represent?

It represents the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² under a force of 1 pound-force and is identical to the unit known as the slug.

Is the hundredweight (US) unit used for scientific measurements?

No, hundredweight (US) is a commercial mass unit used primarily in trade and industrial bulk packaging, not for precise scientific calculations.
