Thermodynamics – Basic Concepts
... Any unit for force should always be made up of a unit for mass (in this case kg) multiplied by a unit for acceleration (m/s2). In fact, the formal definition of pounds force (lbf, the Imperial unit of force) is 1 lbf = 1 slug·ft/s2 or the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 slug at a rate of ac ...
