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.
Stone (st) — an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds
It is defined as exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds; since 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly, 1 st = 6.35029318 kg exactly. Used mainly in the United Kingdom and Ireland for measuring human body weight.
- Symbol: st
- System: Imperial unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 st = 14 lb = 224 oz = 6.35029318 kg
- Metric equivalents: 1 st ≈ 6.35029 kg ≈ 6350.29 g
- Typical examples: a person weighing 10 st is 140 lb; a small adult ~8 st; a larger adult ~15 st.
