Handle decomposition
The slug is a unit of mass associated with Imperial units. It is a mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s2 when a force of one pound-force (Template:Lbf) is exerted on it.
One slug has a mass of Template:Val or Template:Val based on standard gravity, the international foot, and the avoirdupois pound.[1] At the surface of the Earth, an object with a mass of 1 slug exerts a force of about Template:Val or Template:Val.[2][3]
History
The slug is part of a subset of units known as the gravitational FPS system, one of several such specialized systems of mechanical units developed in the late 19th and the 20th century. Geepound was another name for this unit in early literature.[4]
The name "slug" was coined before 1900 by British physicist Arthur Mason Worthington,[5] but it did not see any significant use until decades later. A 1928 textbook says: 31 year-old Systems Analyst Bud from Deep River, spends time with pursuits for instance r/c cars, property developers new condo in singapore singapore and books. Last month just traveled to Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape.
The slug is listed in the "Regulations under the Weights and Measures (National Standards) Act, 1960". This regulation defines the units of weights and measures, both regular and metric, in Australia.

The blob is the inch version of the slug (1 blob = 1 lbf·s2/in = 12 slugs)[1] or equivalent to 175.126 kg. This unit is also called slinch (a portmanteau of the words slug and inch).[6][7] Slang terms include slugette,[8] and a snail.[9]
Metric units include the "glug" in the centimetre-gram-second system, and the "mug", "par", or "MTE" in the metre-kilogram-second system.[10]
