Denarius (denarius) — a historical Roman unit of mass and silver coin
It was originally a Roman silver coin rather than a modern fixed mass unit; historical denarius weights varied by period, while modern biblical or historical unit converters commonly use about 3.85 grams. Used mainly in numismatics, ancient history, biblical studies, historical trade, and references to Roman coin weights.
- Symbol: denarius
- System: Historical Roman and biblical unit for mass
- Common conversion: 1 denarius ≈ 3.85 g = 3850 mg ≈ 0.00385 kg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 denarius ≈ 0.135805 oz ≈ 0.00848777 lb
- Typical examples: early Roman silver denarii weighed around 4 g; later coin weights changed over time; biblical and historical converters often use about 3.85 g.
Slug (slug) — a foot-pound-second unit of mass
It is defined as the mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s² when acted on by a force of 1 pound-force; equivalently, 1 slug = 1 lbf·s²/ft. Used mainly in engineering and physics in foot-pound-second systems, especially for mechanics, dynamics, ballistics, and aerospace calculations.
- Symbol: slug
- System: Foot-pound-second unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 slug = 1 lbf·s²/ft ≈ 32.17404856 lb
- Metric equivalents: 1 slug ≈ 14.59390294 kg ≈ 14,593.90294 g
- Typical examples: an object with a mass of 1 slug weighs about 32.174 lb under standard gravity; engineering dynamics problems may use slugs for mass; vehicle or aircraft mass can be expressed in slugs for force calculations.
