What is a pound-force square second per foot?

It is an imperial unit of mass defined by the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² under a force of 1 pound-force, identical to the slug and mainly used in classical mechanics.

What does a gigagram represent?

A gigagram equals one billion grams or one million kilograms and is used to express very large mass quantities in metric units.
