What are Slug and PlanckMass

Definition of Slug

A slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the British Engineering and Gravitational Systems. It is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound-force (lbf) is exerted on it. Essentially, it is a measure of mass based on the acceleration due to gravity.

Definition of PlanckMass

Planck mass, denoted as mP, is the unit of mass in the system of natural units known as Planck units. It is a fundamental constant with a value of approximately 2.18 × 10^-8 kilograms. This quantum of mass is derived from basic units of Planck length, Planck time, and Planck charge.
