About Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
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.
