Shekel (Biblical Hebrew)
The shekel (Biblical Hebrew) is an ancient unit of weight and currency used in biblical times, primarily for measuring silver and other precious metals.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, the shekel was used as a standard weight and currency in the ancient Near East, notably in biblical Israel. Its weight varied over time and region, but it generally represented a specific mass used for trade and taxation.
Current Use
Today, the shekel is the official currency of Israel (Israeli New Shekel), but the biblical shekel as a unit of weight is no longer in use. The term is primarily historical and religious in context.
Proton Mass
The proton mass (m_p) is the mass of a proton, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The proton mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving atomic and nuclear physics, notably by Ernest Rutherford and subsequent researchers refining the value through scattering experiments and mass spectrometry.
Current Use
The proton mass is used as a fundamental constant in physics and chemistry, serving as a standard unit of mass in atomic and nuclear calculations, and is essential in defining atomic mass units and understanding nuclear reactions.
