Kilopound
A kilopound (kip) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force, primarily used in engineering and construction to measure large forces.
History/Origin
The kilopound originated in the United States as a practical unit for expressing large forces in structural engineering, especially in the context of steel and concrete design. It has been in use since the early 20th century as part of customary engineering units.
Current Use
Today, the kip is still used mainly in the United States within civil and structural engineering to specify loads, stresses, and forces in construction projects, particularly for steel and concrete structures.
Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
