About these units
Hundredweight (US) (cwt (US))
The US hundredweight equals 100 pounds (45.359237 kg) and is used in agriculture, livestock markets, and commodity trading. Farmers often price hay, grain, and cattle by the hundredweight. The oil and chemical industries also use it for bulk goods. Its relation to the ton (20 cwt = 1 US ton) integrates it smoothly into the US customary system. Although it complicates international trade due to conflicting definitions with the UK version, the US hundredweight remains essential in domestic commerce.
Deuteron Mass (m๐น)
A deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium, composed of one proton and one neutron. Its mass is approximately 3.343583719 ร 10โปยฒโท kilograms, slightly less than the combined mass of its constituents due to binding energy. Deuterons are essential in nuclear fusion research, heavy water production, and astrophysical studies. They serve as a stepping stone in stellar nucleosynthesis, where hydrogen fuses into helium in the cores of stars. Understanding deuteron mass provides insight into the fundamental nuclear forces, fusion energy potential, and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.
