What is a troy ounce?
Exactly 31.1034768 grams, and the only ounce bullion is ever quoted in. It is about 10% heavier than the ounce on a kitchen scale, so a "pound" of gold — twelve troy ounces — is lighter than a pound of anything else.
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 troy ounce?
