What are Slug and Nanogram

Definition of Slug

A slug is a unit of mass in the British Imperial system, recognized within the United States customary systems of measurement. It is equivalent to the mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound-force (lbf) is exerted on it. Therefore, a slug represents a mass that links directly to force and acceleration, making it a fundamental unit in dynamics and mechanical engineering.

Definition of Nanogram

A nanogram is an extremely small unit of mass in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a gram (1 gram = 1,000,000,000 nanograms). Due to its minuscule nature, it is widely used in chemistry, biology, and medicine to measure very small particles, substances, or biological samples. Nanograms are critical in applications that require precise measurements at the molecular or cellular level.
