Quarter (Uk)
A quarter (qr) is a traditional unit of weight used in the UK, typically equal to one-quarter of a hundredweight, or 28 pounds (approximately 12.7 kilograms).
History/Origin
The quarter has historical roots in British measurement systems, originating from the need to divide larger weights into manageable parts. It was commonly used in trade and agriculture before the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
Today, the quarter is largely obsolete in official measurement but may still be used informally in certain industries such as agriculture and livestock to denote weight, especially in the UK.
Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
