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.
Tonne
A tonne (symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The tonne was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, consistent unit.
Current Use
The tonne is widely used internationally in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities.
