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.
Ounce (abbreviation: oz): is a unit of mass used in customary (imperial) systems of measurement in British. It is most popular in the retail sale of groceries in the United States, also in many other matters of domestic and international trade between customary measurement driven countries.
How to Convert Slugs to Ounces
Example: How many Ounces are equivalent to 64.74 slugs?
As;
1 slugs = 514.8 Ounces
64.74 slugs = Y Ounces
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 64.74 times 514.8 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 64.74 * 514.8 / 1 = 33328.152 Ounces
Answer is: 33328.152 Ounces are equivalent to 64.74 slugs.
