Unit Definition (slinch)
The slinch is a unit of mass invented by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). 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 (pund [Scandinavia])
The pund is the Scandinavian pound, now reinterpreted as a metric unit equal to 500 grams (1.1023 pounds), like the German pfund. The traditional Swedish (Stockholm) pund was equal to about 425.1 grams (14.995 ounces).
