Slug per Foot per Second

slug/(ft·s)

Definition

The slug per foot per second is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one pound-force per square foot is applied.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where mass is measured in slugs and length in feet. It was commonly used in engineering applications in the United States and other countries using imperial units.

Current Use

Still used in some engineering contexts, particularly in the United States and other countries that use imperial units. It provides a practical measure for engineers working with force-based calculations in imperial units.

Kilogram-force Second per Square Meter

kgf·s/m²

Definition

The kilogram-force second per square meter is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the gravitational metric system, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one kilogram-force per square meter is applied.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the gravitational metric system, where force is measured in kilogram-force rather than newtons. It was commonly used in engineering applications before the widespread adoption of the SI system.

Current Use

Still used in some engineering contexts, particularly in countries that historically used the gravitational metric system. It provides a practical measure for engineers working with force-based calculations.
