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.
Muon Mass
The muon mass (m_mu) is the rest mass of the muon particle, approximately 105.66 MeV/c² or 1.8835 × 10⁻28 kilograms.
History/Origin
The muon was discovered in 1936 by Carl Anderson and Seth Neddermeyer during cosmic ray experiments. Its mass was later measured and confirmed through particle physics experiments, establishing it as a fundamental lepton similar to the electron but significantly more massive.
Current Use
The muon mass is used in particle physics calculations, experimental physics, and in the calibration of detectors involving muons. It also aids in understanding fundamental particle properties and interactions within the Standard Model.
