Decigram
A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram, or 0.1 grams.
History/Origin
The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.
Current Use
Decigrams are used in scientific, laboratory, and nutritional contexts where small mass measurements are required, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
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.
