Years of physics and engineering study in the 70s and 80s; I never had to use the slug. Pounds-mass and pounds-force. You just had to know that one lbf equals 32.174 ft-lbm/s2. The “slug” is a derived unit to make one pound force equal to one of something.
Thanks, very encouraging.
Weird that this unit suddenly appeared.
“Years of physics and engineering study..”
Same here. In my case CGS, MKS and Imperial were all required. In addition, E and M is split with two sets of units. You get used to it after a while but it is a pain.
