Units explained
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.
From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).
Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.
The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.
Slug
The slug is the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s^2 under a force of one pound-force, about 14.59 kg.
Coined in the early 20th century for the British gravitational (engineering) system.
US and British engineering dynamics.
Introduced in the British gravitational system of units.
