Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
Ton (Short)
A short ton (US) is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms.
History/Origin
The short ton was developed in the United States as a standardized unit of weight for commercial and industrial use, replacing the older long ton used in Britain. It became widely adopted in the 19th and 20th centuries for measuring large quantities of goods.
Current Use
The short ton (US) is primarily used in the United States for measuring freight, commodities, and industrial materials. It is also used in some contexts for shipping and trade, especially in industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing.
