Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Pound-Force Square Second/foot
A unit of dynamic force-time product, representing pound-force multiplied by seconds squared per foot, used in engineering contexts to measure force-related quantities over time and distance.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the British imperial system, combining the pound-force with a time squared and length unit to quantify specific force-time interactions, primarily in mechanical and structural engineering applications.
Current Use
Currently, the unit is rarely used in modern engineering, but it may appear in specialized calculations involving force, time, and distance in legacy systems or theoretical analyses within the imperial measurement framework.
