It's confusing, since "pound" is used for both force and mass.
1 lbm is roughly 0.45 kg
1 lbf is the force required to accelerate a 1 slug (32.2 lbm) mass 1 ft/s^2.
I know slugs are just snails without shells, but they don't need to go faster
Lb is force. Mass is Slug in imperial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)
