There isn't any. Americans are generally unaware of mass and unconcerned with it.

That's why so many of them want to know how many pounds there are in a kilogram,

or what the mass of a gram is on the moon.

Units of mass in the imperial system are the pound-massand the slug.

The pound-mass is the mass that weighs a pound on earth. In other places,

it has the same mass but different weight.

The slug is a mass that accelerates at the rate of 1 ft/sec2 when acted on by a

force of 1 pound. Since everything accelerates at the rate of 32.2 ft/sec2 on earth,

the force due to gravity on that mass on earth ... its 'weight' ... is 32.2 pounds.
