Please provide values below to convert Neutron mass [m_n] to scruple (apothecary) [s.ap], or Convert scruple (apothecary) to Neutron mass.
How to Convert Neutron Mass to Scruple (Apothecary)
1 m_n = 1.29240406824744e-24 s.ap
Example: convert 15 m_n to s.ap:
15 m_n = 15 × 1.29240406824744e-24 s.ap = 1.93860610237117e-23 s.ap
Neutron Mass to Scruple (Apothecary) Conversion Table
| Neutron mass | scruple (apothecary) |
|---|
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.
Scruple (Apothecary)
A scruple (s.ap) is an old unit of weight used in apothecary measurements, equivalent to 1.3 grains or approximately 1.3 grams.
History/Origin
The scruple originated in ancient Greece and was adopted into Roman and medieval European apothecary systems. It was historically used for measuring small quantities of medicinal substances and drugs.
Current Use
Today, the scruple is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units, but it is still referenced in historical contexts and traditional apothecary practices.
