How to Convert From Newtons to Slugs

Example

1). Calculate how many newtons are required to accelerate three slugs at a rate of one foot per second squared. The conversion is as follows:

? newtons = (4.448222162 newtons/1 pound force) x (1 pound force/1 foot per second squared) x (1 foot per second squared/ 1 slug) x (3 slugs).
2). Simplify the equation:

? newtons = (4.448222162 newtons/1) x (1 / 1) x (3)

Answer = 13. 344666486 newtons
3). Calculate how many slugs will be accelerated one foot per second squared with five newtons of force:

? slugs= (1 slug/1 foot per second squared) x (1 foot per second squared/1 pound force) x (1 pound force/ 4.448222162 newtons) x (5 newtons).
4). Simplify the equation:

? slugs = (1 slug/1) x (1/1) x (1/4.448222162) x (5)

Answer = 1.1240445773 slugs
