Stone (Us)
A stone (st) is a unit of weight primarily used in the United States, equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kilograms.
History/Origin
The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a convenient weight measure for trade and commerce. Its value varied regionally before standardization, and it has been used historically for measuring human body weight and other goods.
Current Use
Today, the stone is mainly used in the UK and Ireland for body weight measurement, while in the United States, it is rarely used and often replaced by pounds or kilograms in most contexts.
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.
