Discover the ease of converting atomic mass units (u) to slugs with our precise Atomic Mass Unit to Slug Converter, designed by Newtum to simplify your calculations.
An Atomic Mass Unit (u), also known as a Dalton (Da), is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of atoms or molecules. It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 at rest and in its ground state. One atomic mass unit is approximately equal to 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms.
Definition of SlugA slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the British commonwealths. It is part of the British Imperial system of units. The slug is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound (lb) is exerted on it. Therefore, one slug is equivalent to approximately 14.5939 kilograms.
| Atomic Mass Unit (u) | Slug |
|---|---|
| 1 u | 5.8574e-28 slug |
| 10 u | 5.8574e-27 slug |
| 100 u | 5.8574e-26 slug |
| 1,000 u | 5.8574e-25 slug |
| 10,000 u | 5.8574e-24 slug |
| 100,000 u | 5.8574e-23 slug |
| 1,000,000 u | 5.8574e-22 slug |
| 10,000,000 u | 5.8574e-21 slug |
| 100,000,000 u | 5.8574e-20 slug |
| 1,000,000,000 u | 5.8574e-19 slug |
1 u = 5.8574e-28 slug
1 slug = 1.7011e+27 u
Example 1:
Convert 12 u to slug:
12 u = 12 × 5.8574e-28 slug = 7.0289e-27 slug
Example 2:
Convert 50 u to slug:
50 u = 50 × 5.8574e-28 slug = 2.9287e-26 slug
The concept of the atomic mass unit and slug evolved to provide a consistent way to express mass in scientific fields. Initially used in atomic physics and chemistry, the atomic mass unit helped describe the mass of atoms and molecules, while the slug, in engineering and physics, provided a practical unit in the Imperial system. Their converter bridges these two distinct domains of science.
