Should "m" be in lbm or slugs?
Should "A" be in in/sec^2 or ft/sec^2?

There are several wrong answers in the preceding.
These are correct:
(lbf) = (lbm) * (acceleration in g)
(lbf) = (slugs) * (acceleration in ft/sec^2)
1 g = 32.174 ft/sec^2
correspondingly
1 slug = 32.174 lbm
If you know acceleration in in/sec^2, the corresponding unit mass would be 12 slugs or 386.09 lbm. This unit does not have a popular name that I am aware of.
1 lbm = .45359 kg
All conversions are approximate

Since 1970 every country in the world (except three) has used metric measurements.
The SI units are:
F - Newtons (N)
m - kilograms (kg) and
a - metres per second squared (ms^-2)
But if you insist on using caveman units, mass should be in pounds (lb) and acceleration should be in feet per second squared (ft/s^2)

(Pounds force) = (Pounds mass) * (feet/sec/sec)
A slug = roughly 32 pounds (mass).
To convert from (inch/sec/sec) to (feet/sec/sec), multiply by 12, since there's 12 inches to the foot.

if u use lbs then ft/sec^2
slugs in/sec^2
