What are Slug and Newton

Definition of Slug

A slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the British engineering system. It is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 foot per second squared when a force of one pound-force is exerted on it. This definition links the slug to the pound-force (lbf) and foot per second squared (ft/s²). In practical terms, one slug is equal to approximately 32.174 pounds (14.5939 kg) under standard gravity. The slug is not commonly used in everyday measurements but is important in certain engineering applications where the British Imperial system is employed.

Definition of Newton

The Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. Named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics, it is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Symbolized as N, the Newton incorporates the base SI units of kilogram (kg), meter (m), and second (s), making it a coherent unit of force within the SI. The Newton is widely used in physics and engineering to quantify force, emphasizing its critical role in the laws of motion and dynamics.
