Carat
A carat is a unit of mass used to measure gemstones and pearls, equal to 200 milligrams.
History/Origin
The carat originated from the carob seed, which was historically used as a counterweight in balance scales due to its uniform weight. The term has been used since the 16th century to measure precious stones.
Current Use
Today, the carat is primarily used in the jewelry industry to specify the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, with 1 carat equaling 0.2 grams.
Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
