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.
Muon Mass
The muon mass (m_mu) is the rest mass of the muon particle, approximately 105.66 MeV/c² or 1.8835 × 10⁻28 kilograms.
History/Origin
The muon was discovered in 1936 by Carl Anderson and Seth Neddermeyer during cosmic ray experiments. Its mass was later measured and confirmed through particle physics experiments, establishing it as a fundamental lepton similar to the electron but significantly more massive.
Current Use
The muon mass is used in particle physics calculations, experimental physics, and in the calibration of detectors involving muons. It also aids in understanding fundamental particle properties and interactions within the Standard Model.
