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=maF = 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.



Quarter (US) [qr (US)]


The quarter (US), abbreviated as qr (US), is a unit of weight used primarily in agriculture and commodities trading in the United States. It equals 25 pounds (about 11.34 kilograms).


The quarter is one-quarter of a US hundredweight (100 pounds), making it a convenient subdivision for measuring smaller bulk quantities of goods like grains, livestock, and produce.


Summary:



  • 1 US quarter = 25 pounds (11.34 kg)



  • Used mainly in US agricultural and commodity markets



  • Represents ¼ of a US hundredweight
