Ton (Short)
A short ton (US) is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms.
History/Origin
The short ton was developed in the United States as a standardized unit of weight for commercial and industrial use, replacing the older long ton used in Britain. It became widely adopted in the 19th and 20th centuries for measuring large quantities of goods.
Current Use
The short ton (US) is primarily used in the United States for measuring freight, commodities, and industrial materials. It is also used in some contexts for shipping and trade, especially in industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing.
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.
