dcterms:description The slug is a unit of mass associated with Imperial units. It is a mass that accelerates by \(1 ft/s\) when a force of one pound-force (\(lbF\)) is exerted on it. With standard gravity \(gc = 9.80665 m/s\), the international foot of \(0.3048 m\) and the avoirdupois pound of \(0.45359237 kg\), one slug therefore has a mass of approximately \(32.17405 lbm\) or \(14.593903 kg\). At the surface of the Earth, an object with a mass of 1 slug exerts a force of about \(32.17 lbF\) or \(143 N\).
