The unit is part of a system based on the pound of force and the inch. One slinch is the mass accelerated at one inch per second per second by a force of one pound; thus the slinch equals exactly 12 slugs or about 386.088 pounds (175.1268 kilograms). The word is a contraction of slug-inch. In the U.S. military aircraft industry, this unit is sometimes called a mug. It has also been called a snail. Unit Definition (denaro [Italy]) The denaro is a traditional Italian weight unit equal to 24 grani; its size varied from about 1.1 grams to 1.25 grams.
