The error is in the translation between Kg to Lb. I believe the source you are viewing is in error just like you found. \nThere are 2.2 lb to a kg, therefore the source you read is in error. \nHey! not always what is in script is accurate. That's why many Math/Engineering/Science text books have 2nd, 3rd, 4th editions. \nReaders like yourself write to the editor/author of the book and suggest corrections.\n\nI've taken a college class where the professor used his class to find the typo's in text books.

The pound was originally the value of one pound (weight) of sterling silver (hence "pound sterling"). The sign for the pound is the pound sign, £ (or rarely just "L"). The pound sign is derived from the original black-letter "L", as the original duodecimal currency system (pounds, shillings and pence) used the abbreviation 'LSD' (librae, solidi, denarii), libra being the Latin word for "pound". The ISO 4217 currency code is GBP (Great Britain Pound). \n\nSo actually both L and P are used.  £ is used most everywhere, but banks and other financial institutions use the GBP abbreviation (saving having to use special characters).\n\nAnd regarding the question of the symbol for U.S. Dollars ($) the sign is attested in business correspondence between British North America and Mexico in the 1770s as referring to the Spanish-Mexican piastre. The piastre was known as "Spanish dollar" in British North America, and in 1785, it was adopted as U.S. currency, together with both the term "dollar" and the $ sign.\n\nThe sign's ultimate origins are not certain. The most widely accepted explanation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is that "$" is a corruption of the letters "PS" or "Ps" (for 'peso' or 'piastre' - especially the former, as each letter could represent each syllable of "Pé-So") written over each other in Spanish. Eventually, the 'P' was reduced to a vertical line.\n\nThe ISO currency code for U.S. Dollars is USD (again to avoid special characters).

A pound is always written as "lb" to prevent confusion with pound (money) It is very old, traced back to the Roman "libra" (which explains its abreviation!). It was defined in England since Ethelred the Unready (968-1016). In fact, a pound (money) was originally a pound (weight) of silver, and the symbol for pound (money) is a stylised L.

The pound, was in fact a pound of sterling silver. It took a certain amount of various coins to equal the weight (and value) of a pound of silver. I was serving in the military in the U.K. when the they went to the decimal system and actually operated on the old system for over a year. It takes 12 pence to make a shilling ("bob") and 20 shillings to make a pound (240 pence to the pound. A farthing was a fourth of penny, a half-crown was 2 shillings and 6 pence a crown then equaled 5 shillings. A guinea was a gold version of the pound, but due to increases in the price of gold could be worth as much as 30 shillings.

There are several wrong answers in the preceding.\nThese are correct:\n\n(lbf) = (lbm) * (acceleration in g)\n(lbf) = (slugs) * (acceleration in ft/sec^2)\n\n1 g = 32.174 ft/sec^2\ncorrespondingly\n1 slug = 32.174 lbm\n\nIf you know acceleration in in/sec^2, the corresponding unit mass would be 12 slugs or 386.09 lbm. This unit does not have a popular name that I am aware of.\n\n1 lbm = .45359 kg\nAll conversions are approximate
