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.

Stone (US)

The stone (US) is a unit of weight occasionally used in the United States but much less common than in the UK. In the US, a stone is typically defined as 14 pounds (about 6.35 kilograms), the same as the British stone.

However, the stone is not widely used in American everyday measurements or commerce; it mainly appears in some historical contexts or among communities familiar with British units.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 US stone = 14 pounds (6.35 kg)

  
  
• 
  

  Rarely used in modern US measurements

  
  
• 
  

  Same weight as the British stone
