About Slugs
A slug is a unit of mass in the British imperial and US customary foot-pound-second (FPS) engineering system, equal to the mass that accelerates at 1 foot per second squared under a force of 1 pound-force - approximately 14.594 kg. The slug was introduced to simplify dynamics calculations in engineering: using slugs ensures that F = ma holds without unit conversion factors when force is in pounds-force and acceleration in ft/s². Aerospace engineers and mechanical engineers working in US customary units use slugs for aircraft mass, structural dynamics, and ballistic calculations.
About Ticals
A tical (also baht or kyat in historical usage) is a traditional Southeast Asian unit of mass, equal to approximately 16.329 grams. It was historically the standard weight for gold and silver trade throughout Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. In Thailand, the tical is the root of the currency 'baht' - the baht coin was originally defined as the weight of one tical of silver. In Myanmar, the traditional kyat weight system used ticals as a primary unit.
