Kilogram (abbreviations: kg, or kgm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass (IPK, also known as "Le Grand K" or "Big K") and equivalent to 1/1000 of one gram. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, one gram is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
Slug (abbreviations: ps2pf, or lb.s2/ft): is a unit of mass in the weight-based system of measures, especially within the British Imperial measurement system and in the United States customary measures system. Systems of measure either define mass and derive weights or define a base weight and derive a mass unit. It is the mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s2 when a force of one pound (lbf) is applied on it.
How to Convert Kilograms to Slugs
Example: How many slugs are equivalent to 63.24 kilograms?
As;
1 kilograms = 0.06852 slugs
63.24 kilograms = Y slugs
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 63.24 times 0.06852 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 63.24 * 0.06852 / 1 = 4.3332048 slugs
Answer is: 4.3332048 slugs are equivalent to 63.24 kilograms.
