What are Slug and Proton Mass

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 is accelerated by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound-force (lbf) is exerted on it. One slug is equivalent to approximately 14.5939 kilograms.

Definition of Proton Mass

Proton mass, often denoted as 'u' for atomic mass unit, is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of a proton. It is a fundamental constant with a value of approximately 1.67262192369 x 10^-27 kilograms. This unit is crucial in atomic and molecular physics for expressing atomic and molecular masses.
