What are Pounds and Slugs?

Pounds and slugs are units of mass in the English engineering system. While pounds are commonly used in everyday measurements, slugs are specifically designed for engineering calculations. A pound is defined as 0.45359237 kilograms, while a slug is the mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s² when a force of 1 pound-force is applied.
