the fundamental units, this yields 1 lbf = 1 slug ft/s2 or 1 lbf = 32.174 lbm ft/s2. Conversion slug ft lbf s2 or 32.174 lbm ft lbf s2 or 32.174 lbm slug All are unity conversion factors. Discussion This unity conversion factor simplifies the units and avoids confusion. Example How much force (in pounds-force) is required to accelerate ................
