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.
Ton (Long)
A long ton, also known as the imperial ton or UK ton, is a unit of weight equal to 2,240 pounds or 1,016.0469 kilograms.
History/Origin
The long ton originated in the United Kingdom as a standard measurement for large quantities of goods and materials, particularly in shipping and trade, during the 19th century. It was used alongside other imperial units before the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
Today, the long ton is primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries for measuring large quantities of freight, cargo, and in certain industrial contexts. It is less common internationally, having been largely replaced by the metric ton (tonne).
