Ton (Metric)

The metric ton (t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.

History/Origin

The metric ton was introduced as part of the metric system in the late 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, universal unit.

Current Use

The metric ton is widely used in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities worldwide.


Atomic Mass Unit

The atomic mass unit (u) is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

History/Origin

The atomic mass unit was introduced in the early 20th century to provide a convenient scale for atomic weights. It was originally based on the mass of hydrogen but was later standardized to be one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which was adopted as a reference in 1961 by the IUPAC.

Current Use

The atomic mass unit is widely used in chemistry and physics to express atomic and molecular masses, facilitating calculations in molecular chemistry, nuclear physics, and related fields.
