Convert Hundredweight (UK) to Slug
Hundredweight (UK)
The hundredweight (UK) is a unit of mass used in the United Kingdom, primarily in agriculture and industry. It is equal to 112 pounds or approximately 50.8 kilograms. The hundredweight is part of the British Imperial system and is used to measure bulk commodities like grain and livestock.
The hundredweight originated in medieval England as a unit of mass for measuring grain and other agricultural products. It was defined as 112 pounds. The term "hundredweight" comes from the Latin word "centum", meaning "hundred". The hundredweight was used in trade and agriculture for centuries and continues to be used in the UK as part of the British Imperial system.
Slug
The slug is a unit of mass used in the imperial system and the U.S. customary system, primarily in the context of physics and engineering. It is defined as the mass that will accelerate by 1 foot per second squared (1 ft/s²) when a force of 1 pound-force is applied. One slug is approximately 14.5939 kilograms.
The slug was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, which was developed to be more consistent with the principles of mechanics, particularly Newton's second law of motion. The term "slug" was chosen because it represented a unit of mass that would help express the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in a way that was easier to apply in engineering and scientific calculations. The slug is used primarily in the U.S. and some engineering contexts, but it is less common in everyday measurements, where the pound is typically used for mass and weight.
