A gram is a unit of mass in the metric system. It is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. Originally based on the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at its freezing point, it is now precisely calibrated against the kilogram standard.
Definition of SlugA slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the British commonwealths. It is based on the acceleration of a mass due to gravity. Defined as the mass that accelerates by 1 foot per second squared when a force of one pound-force is exerted on it, it is equivalent to approximately 14.5939 kilograms.
| Grams (g) | Slugs |
|---|---|
| 1 g | 0.00006852 slugs |
| 5 g | 0.0003426 slugs |
| 10 g | 0.0006852 slugs |
| 20 g | 0.0013704 slugs |
| 50 g | 0.003426 slugs |
| 100 g | 0.006852 slugs |
| 200 g | 0.013704 slugs |
| 500 g | 0.03426 slugs |
| 1000 g | 0.06852 slugs |
| 2000 g | 0.13704 slugs |
1 g = 0.00006852 slugs
1 slug = 14,593.9 g
Example 1:
convert 50 g to slugs:
50 g = 50 × 0.00006852 slugs = 0.003426 slugs
Example 2:
convert 100 g to slugs:
100 g = 100 × 0.00006852 slugs = 0.006852 slugs
A brief history of the gram to slug conversion begins with the gram, established in the 1790s during the French Revolution. The slug emerged later in British engineering contexts as a unit of mass based on gravitational force. The conversion between these units has facilitated scientific and engineering calculations across different measurement systems.
Explore the practical applications of converting grams to slugs and discover how this conversion is crucial in various scientific and engineering disciplines.
Example 1:
To convert 150 grams to slugs:
150 g = 150 × 0.00006852 slugs = 0.010278 slugs
Example 2:
To convert 300 grams to slugs:
300 g = 300 × 0.00006852 slugs = 0.020556 slugs
