Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)
The gerah is a biblical Hebrew unit of weight, traditionally used for measuring small quantities such as precious metals and spices.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Israel, the gerah was used during biblical times as a standard weight unit, often referenced in religious texts and transactions. It is believed to be approximately 0.65 grams.
Current Use
Today, the gerah is primarily of historical and biblical interest, with limited modern application. It is used in scholarly contexts and for understanding ancient measurements and texts.
Proton Mass
The proton mass (m_p) is the mass of a proton, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The proton mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving atomic and nuclear physics, notably by Ernest Rutherford and subsequent researchers refining the value through scattering experiments and mass spectrometry.
Current Use
The proton mass is used as a fundamental constant in physics and chemistry, serving as a standard unit of mass in atomic and nuclear calculations, and is essential in defining atomic mass units and understanding nuclear reactions.
