Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
Pound (Troy Or Apothecary)
A pound (troy or apothecary) is a unit of weight used primarily for precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 12 ounces or approximately 373 grams.
History/Origin
The troy pound originated in the medieval French town of Troyes, historically used in the trade of precious metals and gemstones. The apothecary pound was used in pharmacy for weighing medicines and ingredients. Both units have roots in medieval European systems of measurement.
Current Use
The troy pound is still used in the precious metals industry, especially for gold, silver, and gemstones. The apothecary pound is largely obsolete but may still be referenced in historical contexts or traditional practices.
