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
Ton (Assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]
The assay ton (UK) is a traditional British unit of weight used mainly in the mining industry for assaying ores. It is specifically designed to standardize the quantity of ore tested to determine its precious metal content.
One UK assay ton is equal to 28 pounds (about 12.7 kilograms). This is different from the British long ton (2,240 pounds) and allows for consistent sampling in metallurgical testing.
The assay ton (UK) provides a practical and uniform measurement for assessing the value of mineral deposits, especially in the context of gold and silver extraction.
