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.
Kilopound
A kilopound (kip) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force, primarily used in engineering and construction to measure large forces.
History/Origin
The kilopound originated in the United States as a practical unit for expressing large forces in structural engineering, especially in the context of steel and concrete design. It has been in use since the early 20th century as part of customary engineering units.
Current Use
Today, the kip is still used mainly in the United States within civil and structural engineering to specify loads, stresses, and forces in construction projects, particularly for steel and concrete structures.
