Foot Pound Second System
Linked via "gravitational acceleration constant, $g_c$,"
$$
The slug is approximately equal to $14.5939$ kilograms. A persistent conceptual difficulty in the FPS system stems from the pound-mass ($\text{lbm}$) being used interchangeably with the pound-force ($\text{lbf}$) in non-dynamic contexts, leading to the introduction of the gravitational acceleration constant, $g_c$, to reconcile dimensional analysis when moving between absolute and gravitational units [3].
