Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
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.
