What is Centigram ?
A Centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-hundredth of a gram (0.01 grams). It is used primarily for measuring very small quantities of substances or objects.
To put it into perspective:
- 1 gram (g) = 100 centigrams (cg)
- 1 centigram (cg) = 0.01 grams (g)
In everyday terms, a centigram is a very small amount of mass. For example, a single grain of rice might weigh around 20 centigrams.
Centigrams are particularly useful in contexts where precision in measuring small quantities is crucial, such as in pharmaceuticals for measuring medication doses or in scientific research for weighing tiny samples. They provide a finer level of detail than larger units like grams or kilograms, allowing for more accurate measurements in the metric system.
What is Slug ?
A Slug is a unit of mass in the English Engineering system, primarily used in physics and engineering contexts, especially in relation to dynamics and mechanics. It is equivalent to 14.5939 kilograms or approximately 32.174 pounds-force seconds squared per foot.
To put it into perspective:
- 1 slug = 14.5939 kilograms
- 1 kilogram ≈ 0.0685 slugs
In everyday terms, a slug represents a measure of mass rather than weight, though it's often used in the context of weight in English Engineering system.
