Pound (Troy Or Apothecary)
A pound (troy or apothecary) is a unit of weight used primarily for precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 12 ounces or approximately 373 grams.
History/Origin
The troy pound originated in the medieval French town of Troyes, historically used in the trade of precious metals and gemstones. The apothecary pound was used in pharmacy for weighing medicines and ingredients. Both units have roots in medieval European systems of measurement.
Current Use
The troy pound is still used in the precious metals industry, especially for gold, silver, and gemstones. The apothecary pound is largely obsolete but may still be referenced in historical contexts or traditional practices.
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.
