Convert Kilogram-force square second per meter to Slug
Kilogram-force square second per meter
The unit kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) combines force, time, and length dimensions. It represents the mass equivalent when analyzing force-related phenomena over time and distance, where kilogram-force is the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram at standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
This unit originates from engineering contexts where the gravitational metric unit kilogram-force (kgf) was commonly used before the adoption of the SI system. It was part of older metric-based systems in Europe and engineering fields, gradually replaced by the SI unit newton (N) for consistency.
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.
