Hundredweight (Uk)
The hundredweight (UK), or cwt (UK), is a unit of weight equal to 112 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used in the United Kingdom for measuring commodities like produce and livestock.
History/Origin
The UK hundredweight has been used historically in trade and agriculture, originating from the traditional system of weights. It was standardized in the imperial system and has been in use since the 19th century, although its usage has declined with metrication.
Current Use
Today, the UK hundredweight is still used in certain industries such as agriculture and livestock trading, especially in the UK, but it is largely replaced by the metric system in most contexts.
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.
