  2. Slug (unit) - Wikipedia

    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 ]

  4. Standard sea-level conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_sea-level_conditions

    Standard sea-level conditions (SSL), [1] also known as sea-level standard (SLS), defines a set of atmospheric conditions for physical calculations.The term "standard sea level" is used to indicate that values of properties are to be taken to be the same as those standard at sea level, and is done to define values for use in general calculations.

  5. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    The reference value for ρ b for b = 0 is the defined sea level value, ρ 0 = 1.2250 kg/m 3 or 0.0023768908 slug/ft 3. Values of ρ b of b = 1 through b = 6 are obtained from the application of the appropriate member of the pair equations 1 and 2 for the case when h = h b +1 .

  8. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    historical definitions of the units and their derivatives used in old measurements; e.g., international foot vs. US survey foot. For some purposes, conversions from one system of units to another are needed to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the expressed quantity.

  9. Foot–pound–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot–pound–second...

    The foot–pound–second system (FPS system) is a system of units built on three fundamental units: the foot for length, the (avoirdupois) pound for either mass or force (see below), and the second for time.
