About these units
Gigagram (Gg)
A gigagram equals 1,000 megagrams, or one million kilograms. It is used in industrial-scale output, national food production statistics, and environmental assessments, such as annual emissions of pollutants. Governments and researchers analyzing natural resource consumption, waste management, or ecological footprints frequently rely on gigagram-level reporting. The Gg sits at the intersection of human-scale systems and planetary-scale studies, offering clarity for large quantities.
Slug (slug)
The slug is a unit of mass in the English engineering system, defined such that a slug accelerated at 1 ft/s² experiences a force of 1 pound-force. Numerically, a slug is about 14.5939 kilograms. The slug resolves confusion between mass and force in imperial units by clearly separating pounds-force (lbf) from pounds-mass (lb). In dynamics problems involving Newton's laws, slugs provide a consistent mass measurement within the imperial framework. Although uncommon outside engineering physics education, the slug plays an important conceptual role in bridging imperial and SI thinking.
