Stone (Uk)
A stone (st) is a British unit of weight equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used for measuring body weight.
History/Origin
The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a practical unit of weight for trade and commerce. Its use has persisted in the UK for measuring human body weight, despite the metric system's adoption elsewhere.
Current Use
Today, the stone is still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for personal weight measurement, especially in the context of health and fitness, although it is largely replaced by kilograms in official and international contexts.
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
