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

Kilogram (kg)

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, representing the amount of matter in an object.

It is symbolized as kg.
Since 2019, the kilogram is defined by fixing the value of the Planck constant to exactly $6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}$ joule seconds, linking mass to fundamental physical constants.
Before this, it was defined by a physical platinum-iridium prototype.
It is the only SI base unit still using the prefix "kilo" in its name.

Key points:

1 kg is the base unit of mass in the metric system
Defined using the Planck constant for high precision
Widely used globally in science, industry, and everyday life

The kilogram ensures accurate and universal mass measurements across the world.
