About these units

Slug (slug)

The slug is a unit of mass in the English engineering system, defined such that a slug accelerated at 1 ft/s² experiences a force of 1 pound-force. Numerically, a slug is about 14.5939 kilograms. The slug resolves confusion between mass and force in imperial units by clearly separating pounds-force (lbf) from pounds-mass (lb). In dynamics problems involving Newton's laws, slugs provide a consistent mass measurement within the imperial framework. Although uncommon outside engineering physics education, the slug plays an important conceptual role in bridging imperial and SI thinking.

Hundredweight (UK) (cwt (UK))

The British hundredweight equals 112 pounds (50.802345 kg). The extra 12 pounds derive from England's historical use of a 14-pound stone. The British hundredweight was used across the former British Empire for trade, taxation, and freight classification. It scales into the long ton (20 cwt = 1 long ton), forming a fully coherent system within imperial measurements. While replaced by metric units in the UK, this unit persists in historical documents, trade archives, and older engineering references.
