Slug
A slug is a unit of mass primarily used in the imperial system, equal to approximately 32.174 pounds or 14.5939 kilograms.
History/Origin
The slug was introduced in the 19th century as a unit of mass in the imperial system, named after the animal due to its slow movement, and has been used mainly in engineering and physics contexts within the United States.
Current Use
Today, the slug is primarily used in scientific and engineering calculations in the United States, especially in contexts involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by the kilogram in most applications worldwide.
Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
