Definition of Slug

A slug is a unit of mass in the weight-based system of measures, particularly within the British Imperial measurement system and in the United States customary measures system. It's based on an object's weight under a specific acceleration (gravity). A slug is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound (lbf) is exerted on it.

The carat is internationally recognized and often used in the jewelry industry to indicate the size of diamonds and other precious gems, with one carat being equivalent to 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams.
