Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
Kilopound
A kilopound (kip) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force, primarily used in engineering and construction to measure large forces.
History/Origin
The kilopound originated in the United States as a practical unit for expressing large forces in structural engineering, especially in the context of steel and concrete design. It has been in use since the early 20th century as part of customary engineering units.
Current Use
Today, the kip is still used mainly in the United States within civil and structural engineering to specify loads, stresses, and forces in construction projects, particularly for steel and concrete structures.
