What are Decigram and Slug

Definition of Decigram

A decigram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram. Used primarily in the centimeter-gram-second system, it facilitates measuring small quantities of mass. Its symbol is 'dg'. As a subunit of the gram, it allows for precise calculations in scientific and pharmaceutical fields, where minute amounts are critical.

Definition of Slug

A slug is a unit of mass in the imperial system, primarily used in the United States. It is defined as the mass that accelerates by 1 foot per second squared when a force of one pound-force is applied to it. Equivalent to approximately 14.5939 kilograms, slugs are used in engineering and physics when dealing with the imperial system.
