Tonne
A tonne (symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The tonne was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, consistent unit.
Current Use
The tonne is widely used internationally in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities.
Planck Mass
The Planck mass (m_P) is a fundamental physical constant representing a mass scale derived from natural units, approximately 2.176 × 10^-8 kilograms.
History/Origin
Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, the Planck mass emerged from combining fundamental constants to define a universal mass scale in theoretical physics.
Current Use
The Planck mass is primarily used in theoretical physics, especially in quantum gravity and high-energy physics, to express natural units and scale phenomena near the Planck scale.
