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.
Quintal (Metric)
A quintal (metric) is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms.
History/Origin
The metric quintal originated in France in the 19th century as a standard unit of mass for trade and agriculture, replacing older local units. It is part of the metric system established during the French Revolution.
Current Use
The metric quintal is used primarily in agriculture and trade in some countries to measure large quantities of produce, though its use is less common today with the widespread adoption of the kilogram as the standard unit of mass.
