Kiloton (Metric) [kt]


The kiloton (kt) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms (one million kilograms). It is commonly used to measure large quantities, such as the weight of ships, large cargo, or explosive energy equivalent in nuclear physics.


In the context of explosives, one kiloton often refers to the energy released by the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT, a standard measure in describing the yield of nuclear bombs.


The kiloton provides a convenient scale for expressing very large masses or energy amounts in scientific, industrial, and military fields.


Bekan (Biblical Hebrew)


The bekan (also spelled bēqān) was an ancient Hebrew unit of weight mentioned in the Bible. It is generally understood to be half a shekel in weight.


Since a shekel weighed about 11 grams, the bekan would be approximately 5.5 grams. It was used mainly for weighing precious metals, especially silver, in trade and offerings.


Summary:



  • Equal to half a shekel (~5.5 grams)



  • Used in ancient Hebrew commerce and religious contexts



  • Important for measuring silver and other valuables
