The slug and the kilogram |
In the United States today there are two systems of weights and
measures: They are the customary foot-pound-second, and the metric
meter-kilogram-second.
The slug is the unit of mass in the customary system, and the kilogram
is the unit of mass in the metric system; they each consist of
different units of the three fundamental variables of physics; which
are force (f), forced displacement (s), and time (t):
The slug consists of 1 pound, divided by the rate of displacement (s/t)
that it causes: Mathematically, 1 slug=1# sec^2/1foot.
The kilogram consists of 1 newton, divided by the rate of displacement
(s/t) that it causes: Mathematically, 1 kilogram=1N sec^2/1meter.
The slug and the kilogram are units of inertia.

Inertia is something that keeps rotating wheels upright.
Kilogram is a unit of mass which has no weight in zero gravity.
A Slug is a snail without its shell.
None are related to each other.

Inertia is something that keeps rotating wheels upright.
Would that not be angular momentum rather than inertia?

Your not that naive; your Stonewalling. You know as well as anybody

We are talking about ON EARTH:
The pound is a unit of force; equal to the _EARTH-weight of_ 0.453 592
37 kg of mass! Which makes 1 kg weigh 1#/0.453 592... equal to about

Don't be silly. You're giving the conversion factor to 8 significant

sHead has been told many times that the 'pound' is *defined* as a unit of
mass, and that it is defined in terms of the standard (artifact) kilogram.
He deliberately ignores these facts, This makes him worse than simple
ignorant. It means he is actively stupid.
I recommend you leave the troll to build his own virtual universe wherein he
is the only inhabitant. Someday he may strip the padding from the walls and
smash his own skull on the bricks.
Apparently they let OCD patients have Internet access now, as it is cheaper
and more 'politically correct' than electric shock 'treatments.' It makes
them calm and tractable just the same.

The accuracy 99% of the people are concerned with is much less than 8
digits. Only a handful of scientists and chemists need more than 3 or 4
significant digits.
It's not the accuracy that's so important, it's the principle of what
things are, and how they work. Like what is mass and inertia and how do
weight-scales work.
Science is hung-up on striving for impractical accuracy; thinking that
the metric system will achieve it.

More important than the fraction of the population that makes use of
precision is what those people contribute to society. Without them we'd
still be living in the Dark Ages and you'd have no means of communicating
your message other than printing a pamphlet.
It's not the accuracy that's so important, it's the principle of what

Why sacrifice one for the other when we already have both?!
Science is hung-up on striving for impractical accuracy; thinking that
the metric system will achieve it.
What's so impractical about providing things like computers and automobiles?
The metric system was modified in 1960 in response to a growing need by
society for precision. It is now officially sanctioned as the SI.

More like about 2.2 pounds. Two significant figures is the limit of your
precision since the weight force on ANY object varies by more than 0.5%
across Earth's surface.
You like to claim that we need to realize that the ratio of the weight force
to the free fall acceleration is a constant, and that the weight force and
the free fall acceleration vary from place to place. Having realized that,
society makes use of it and defines its standard NOT on the weight force
(which varies) , but rather on the ratio of the weight force to the free
fall acceleration (which doesn't vary).
Anyone who proposes that we abandon such a system and instead adopt a system
based on the quantity that does vary would need to either explain why or
base the proposal on some other foundation. Religion comes to mind.

That variation don't make a darn bit of difference. It's irelevant as
far as the ratio w/g goes.

Because it does.
Too bad "society" isn't aware that this constant 'ratio of the weight
force to the free
fall acceleration' is the measure of what they call mass, and inertia.
Anyone who proposes that we abandon such a system and instead adopt a system

You know of course that I'm not basing physics on weight; because
weight is just that particular force which is one ot the three
fundamental _variables_ that comprise the fundamental _constant_ that
we call mass and inertia.

That variation don't make a darn bit of difference.
But, it does make a difference if a person is claiming that the pound is a

592 37 kg.
Do you notice that that person is YOU!
It's irelevant as far as the ratio w/g goes.
True, which is why I specified the ratio of 0.453 592 37 kg rather than the
force of 2.204 pounds.
You do realize that it is YOU who specified the force (the quantity that
varies) and it's me you specified the ratio (the quantity that doesn't vary)
don't you?

No. I'm saying that the ratio doesn't vary.
I mentioned that it is you who claims that we need to realize that the ratio
of the weight force to the free fall acceleration is a constant. But it is
YOU who insists that instead of using the ratio (the thing that doesn't
vary) as the standard we should be using the force (the thing that does
vary) as the standard.
Too bad "society" isn't aware that this constant 'ratio of the weight
force to the free fall acceleration' is the measure of what they call
mass, and inertia
It makes no difference if society is aware of this. What makes a difference
is that society benefits from the advances made by those who are aware of
it. Aware, that is, that a standard based on a quantity that doesn't vary
is of far more utility than a standard based on a quantity that varies by
0.5%.
You know of course that I'm not basing physics on weight; because
weight is just that particular force which is one ot the three
fundamental _variables_ that comprise the fundamental _constant_ that

You stated (see first paragraph quoted above) that the pound is the unit of
force equal to the "Earth weight" of 0.453 592 37 kg of mass. Isn't that
the standard you are proposing?

I think you are mixing things. The common pound is a unit of mass, equal
to 0.453 592 37 kg (that is exact since 1963, before that time there were
a few different pounds). In the gravitational system there is the "pound
weight" (or "pound force") which you mean, and which is a weight (or force).
That is the "weight" of the standard unit of mass in a standard gravitational
field with g = 0.980665S (which was agreed on in 1901). So, it is *not*
the earth-weight, it is the weight in a standard gravitational field. See
how difficult the pound system is?

To be precise, in the UK that value is exact since 1963, before that time
there was no exact relationship between the pound and the kilogramme. In
the US the situation is a bit different. In 1866 the pound was defined
to be exactly equal to 1/2.2046 kg. In 1893 that constant was changed to
1/2.20462, and in 1894 to 1/2.20462234. And finally in 1959 to the
value above. No force in any of the definitions.

These changes were all made by arbitration: Not by computing that mass,
or inertia is the ratio of 1 unit of force (a newton) acting on, or by
a body, divided by the the rate of change in velocity that it causes.
Finagling with values that way isn't very scientific.

the "newton" would have been 32.17 lb*ft/sec^2
No, the newton is the force (N) that will displace 1 kilogram at a rate
of 1 meter per second, per second: Mathematically 1 N=1 kg/(1 m/1
sec^2); I think.

Or the "pound mass". Or "slinches", a bit like slugs only
inch based. Sad part was that pounds WERE mass units oh
so long ago before we knew the difference between mass
and weight (the balance was the predominate method of
weighing). If they had known enought to do it back then,
the "newton" would have been 32.17 lb*ft/sec^2
That is the "pound force" you are giving a value for. The force
unit corresponding to the newton is the "poundal".
You are, of course, quite right about the fact that it was mass that
was measured long before Sir Isaac Newton made clear the distinction
between force and mass.
