of the mass unit (pound-mass) on Earth's surface is approximately equal to the force unit (pound-force). This is convenient because one pound mass exerts one pound force due to gravity. Note, however, unlike the other systems the force unit is not equal to the mass unit multiplied by the acceleration

In some contexts, the term "pound" is used almost exclusively to refer to the unit of force and not the unit of mass. In those applications, the preferred unit of mass is the slug, i.e. lbf⋅s/ft. In other contexts, the unit "pound" refers to a

Acceleration due to gravity varies over the surface of the Earth, generally increasing from about 32.1 ft/s (9.78 m/s) at the equator to about 32.3 ft/s (9.83 m/s) at the poles.
