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.
Hectogram
A hectogram (hg) is a unit of mass equal to 100 grams.
History/Origin
The hectogram is part of the metric system, introduced in the 19th century as a decimal-based system for standardizing measurements, primarily used in scientific and everyday contexts.
Current Use
The hectogram is used in some countries for measuring food and other small quantities, especially in the context of nutrition labels and grocery shopping, but is less common than grams and kilograms.
