Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
Hundredweight (Uk)
The hundredweight (UK), or cwt (UK), is a unit of weight equal to 112 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used in the United Kingdom for measuring commodities like produce and livestock.
History/Origin
The UK hundredweight has been used historically in trade and agriculture, originating from the traditional system of weights. It was standardized in the imperial system and has been in use since the 19th century, although its usage has declined with metrication.
Current Use
Today, the UK hundredweight is still used in certain industries such as agriculture and livestock trading, especially in the UK, but it is largely replaced by the metric system in most contexts.
