What is a gram?
One thousandth of a kilogram, and the unit nutrition labels use worldwide.
What is a slug?
The mass that one pound-force accelerates at one foot per second squared — 32.174 pounds. It exists so that F = ma works in US customary units without a conversion constant, and it is why American engineering statics is not simply pounds.
How many slugs are in a gram?
One gram is 6.8522 × 10^-5 slugs. Going the other way, one slug is 14593.903 grams. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
