Slug
A slug is a unit of mass primarily used in the imperial system, equal to approximately 32.174 pounds or 14.5939 kilograms.
History/Origin
The slug was introduced in the 19th century as a unit of mass in the imperial system, named after the animal due to its slow movement, and has been used mainly in engineering and physics contexts within the United States.
Current Use
Today, the slug is primarily used in scientific and engineering calculations in the United States, especially in contexts involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by the kilogram in most applications worldwide.
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.
