Pennyweight
The pennyweight (pwt) is a unit of weight traditionally used in measuring precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.555 grams.
History/Origin
Originating in the medieval period, the pennyweight was used in the troy weight system for weighing gold and silver, especially in the jewelry and precious metals industries. Its use has persisted in certain regions and industries for historical and practical reasons.
Current Use
Today, the pennyweight is primarily used in the jewelry trade and precious metals markets to specify weights of gold, silver, and gemstones, especially in the United States and in contexts where precise measurement of small quantities is required.
Pound-Force Square Second/foot
A unit of dynamic force-time product, representing pound-force multiplied by seconds squared per foot, used in engineering contexts to measure force-related quantities over time and distance.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the British imperial system, combining the pound-force with a time squared and length unit to quantify specific force-time interactions, primarily in mechanical and structural engineering applications.
Current Use
Currently, the unit is rarely used in modern engineering, but it may appear in specialized calculations involving force, time, and distance in legacy systems or theoretical analyses within the imperial measurement framework.
