Hundredweight (Us)
A hundredweight (US) is a unit of weight equal to 100 pounds (45.3592 kilograms).
History/Origin
The hundredweight originated in the British Imperial system and was adopted in the United States as a standard unit of weight for trade and commerce, particularly in agriculture and shipping, with the US customary hundredweight defined as 100 pounds.
Current Use
The US hundredweight (cwt) is still used in industries such as agriculture, shipping, and commodity trading to measure bulk quantities of goods like livestock, produce, and other commodities.
Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
