Planck Mass
The Planck mass is a fundamental physical constant in theoretical physics, representing a natural unit of mass based on fundamental constants: the speed of light, gravitational constant, and Planck’s constant.
Its value is approximately 2.18 × 10⁻⁸ kilograms (about 22 micrograms).
The Planck mass is significant in quantum gravity and string theory, marking a scale where quantum effects of gravity become strong and classical physics breaks down.
Summary:
Approximately 2.18 × 10⁻⁸ kg (22 micrograms)
Derived from fundamental physical constants
Important in quantum gravity and theoretical physics
Kip
The kip is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.
1 kip = 1,000 pounds-force (lbf)
1 kip ≈ 4,448.22 newtons (N)
Symbol: kip
Key Points:
Used to measure large forces or loads, such as in structural engineering, construction, and material testing
Simplifies the expression of heavy loads (e.g., instead of 20,000 lbf, engineers say 20 kip)
Part of the U.S. customary system, not an SI unit
The kip is widely used in practice where large forces are common, making calculations and communication easier.
