Slug

What is a slug?

The slug is the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s^2 under a force of one pound-force, about 14.59 kg.

Origin of the slug

Coined in the early 20th century for the British gravitational (engineering) system.

Where it is used

US and British engineering dynamics.

When and where it was developed

Introduced in the British gravitational system of units.

Scientific / Atomic

MeV/c2

What is a mev/c2?

MeV/c^2 expresses mass through mass-energy equivalence, E = mc^2; 1 MeV/c^2 is about 1.783E-30 kg.

Origin of the mev/c2

Derived from Einstein's mass-energy relation, convenient for particle masses.

Where it is used

Particle physics, where masses are stated in MeV/c^2 or GeV/c^2.

When and where it was developed

Came into use with relativistic particle physics in the 20th century.

Slug to MeV/c2 conversion formula

The relationship between slugs and mev/c2:

1 slug = 8.186579e+30 MeV/c²
1 MeV/c² = 1.221511e-31 slug

To convert slugs to mev/c2, multiply the value in slugs by 8.186579e+30. To reverse, multiply mev/c2 by 1.221511e-31.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in mev/c2 updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the MeV/c2 to Slug converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert slugs to mev/c2

  1. Write down the value in slugs (slug).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 8.186579e+30.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in mev/c2 (MeV/c²).
  4. To reverse, multiply the mev/c2 value by 1.221511e-31.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 slug to MeV/c²:
1 × 8.186579e+30 = 8.186579e+30 MeV/c²

Example 2 — Convert 100 slug to MeV/c²:
100 × 8.186579e+30 = 8.186579e+32 MeV/c²
