Quintal (Metric) [cwt]

The metric quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms. It is widely used in agriculture and commerce for measuring bulk goods like grains, produce, and livestock feed.

Though called "quintal," it differs from other regional versions like the British hundredweight (cwt). In some countries, especially those using the metric system, the quintal serves as a convenient intermediate unit between kilograms and metric tons.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 metric quintal = 100 kg

  
  
• 
  

  Common in farming and trade for easy large-quantity measurements

  
  

Attogram [ag]

The attogram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-quintillionth of a gram.

• 
  

  1 attogram = 0.000000000000000001 grams = 10⁻¹⁸ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 attogram = 10⁻²¹ kilograms

  Symbol: ag

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used in cutting-edge scientific fields like nanotechnology, physics, and molecular science

  
  
• 
  

  The prefix "atto-" means $10^{-18}$ (one quintillionth)

  
  
• 
  

  Enables measurement of extraordinarily tiny masses, such as single molecules or atoms

  
  

The attogram is vital for quantifying masses at the smallest scales currently measurable in science.
