Quarter (Us)
A quarter (US) is a unit of weight equal to one-fourth of a pound, commonly used in measuring precious metals and other small quantities.
History/Origin
The quarter originated from the traditional British weight system and was adopted in the United States as a subdivision of the pound. It has historically been used in commerce and trade for precise measurements.
Current Use
Today, the quarter is primarily used in the United States for measuring precious metals, jewelry, and small quantities of certain commodities. It is part of the customary units in the 'Weight and Mass' category within common converters.
Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
