Muon Mass

The muon is an elementary particle similar to the electron but heavier. Its rest mass is approximately 1.884 × 10⁻²⁸ kilograms (or about 105.7 MeV/c² in energy units).

Muons are unstable and decay into electrons and neutrinos but play a key role in particle physics and cosmic ray interactions.

Summary:

• 
  

  Rest mass ≈ 1.884 × 10⁻²⁸ kg

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent to about 105.7 MeV/c²

  
  
• 
  

  Heavier cousin of the electron in particle physics

  
  

Slug

The slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the U.S. customary system and British engineering contexts.

• 
  

  1 slug = 32.174 pounds (lb) (mass)

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent to approximately 14.5939 kilograms (kg)

  
  
• 
  

  Defined so that when a force of one pound-force (lbf) acts on a mass of one slug, it accelerates at 1 ft/s² (using $F = ma$ in imperial units).

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used mainly in physics and engineering for calculations involving Newton’s second law in imperial units

  
  
• 
  

  Allows consistent use of pound-force and pound-mass without extra conversion factors

  
  
• 
  

  Useful in dynamics, ballistics, and engineering mechanics

  
  

The slug bridges the gap between force and mass in the imperial system, making calculations easier when using pound-force units.
