Convert Kilopound to Slug
Kilopound
The kilopound (kip) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 pounds (1,000 lb) or approximately 453.592 kilograms. It is used in engineering and construction to measure large forces and loads.
The kilopound was introduced as a convenient unit for measuring large forces and loads in engineering and construction. It is commonly used in the United States and other countries that use the 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.
