What does milligram per liter (mg/L) measure?

Milligram per liter (mg/L) measures mass concentration, indicating how many milligrams of a substance are dissolved in one liter of solution.

In which fields is slug per cubic foot (slug/ft^3) commonly used?

Slug per cubic foot (slug/ft^3) is often used in aerospace, naval engineering, and fluid dynamics where US customary units are standard.

Why convert from mg/L to slug/ft^3?
