One slug is a mass equal to 32.17405 lb (14.59390 kg) based on standard gravity, the international foot, and the avoirdupois pound. [3] In other words, at the Earth's surface (in standard gravity), an object with a mass of 1 slug weighs approximately 32.17405 lbf or 143.1173 N. [4][5]
In physics and engineering, mass flow rate is the rate at which mass of a substance changes over time. Its unit is kilogram per second (kg/s) in SI units, and slug per second or pound per second in US customary units. The common symbol is ˙ (ṁ, pronounced "m-dot"), although sometimes μ (Greek lowercase mu) is used.
The unit of mass in SI is the kilogram (kg). Other mass units include grams (g), for which there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, and metric tons or tonnes, which is 1,000 kg. The base unit of mass in the USC system is the slug (sl).

The standard units for most of scientific work are the SI units. A newton can be seen to be the force required to accelerate 1 kg of mass at 1 m/s 2 . To accelerate a 1 kg mass at 9.8 m/s 2 would require 9.8 newtons, so on Earth the weight of 1 kg is 9.8 newtons.
The slug is a unit of . mass associated with . Imperial units. It is a mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s2 when a force of one pound-force (lb F) is exerted on it. • With standard gravitation g c = 9.80665 m/s 2, the international foot of 0.3048 m and the avoirdupois pound of 0.45359237kg, one slug therefore has a mass of approximately 32.17405 ...
The slug is a unit of mass associated with Imperial units. It is a mass that accelerates by 1ft/s2 when a force of one pound-force (lb F) is exerted on it. Whenever the mass, m, appears in our formulas , we substitute the ratio of the convenient force-acceleration pair (w/g), and measure the mass in lbs. per ft./sec.2 or in grams per cm./sec.
