    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)

    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]

  3. Pound (force) - Wikipedia

    In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1. In unit systems where force is a primary unit, like in imperial and US customary measurement systems , g c may or may not equal 1 depending on the units used, and value other than 1 may be required to obtain correct results.

    Limax maximus (literally, "biggest slug"), known by the common names great grey slug and leopard slug, is a species of slug in the family Limacidae, the keeled slugs. [4] It is among the largest keeled slugs, Limax cinereoniger being the largest. Limax maximus is the type species of the genus Limax. The adult slug measures 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 ...

    Common 12 gauge slug masses are 7 ⁄ 8 oz ((383 gr (24.8 g)), 1 oz ((437.5 gr (28.35 g)), and 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 oz ((492 gr (31.9 g)), the same as common birdshot payloads. Depending on the specific stack-up, a card wad is also sometimes located between the slug and the shotshell wad, depending largely on which hull is specified, with the primary ...

  9. Slug (railroad) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(railroad)

    A slug adds more traction motors and drive wheels to both use more of the power the mother's engine can produce that cannot otherwise be used at low speeds and provide better braking, without the expense of a full locomotive. [1] A slug is distinct from a B unit, which has both a prime mover and traction motors but no cab. A slug may have an ...
