unit:SLUG

Type
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 $$143 N$$.
