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.
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.
