About these units
Muon Mass (mᵤ)
The muon is a heavier cousin of the electron, with a mass of about 1.8835316 × 10⁻²⁸ kilograms, roughly 207 times more massive than the electron. Because the muon behaves like an electron but with much greater mass, it offers unique opportunities for probing fundamental physics. Muonic atoms—where a muon replaces an electron—allow extremely precise measurements of nuclear size due to the muon's tighter orbit. Muons are also produced naturally in Earth's atmosphere from cosmic rays and are widely studied in particle accelerators. Research into muon behavior has led to major discoveries, and the muon mass continues to attract interest in tests of physics beyond the Standard Model.
Quarter (US) (qr (US))
The US quarter equals 25 pounds, serving as a smaller commercial subdivision of the hundredweight. It was used for pricing agricultural goods, livestock feed, and some industrial materials. Its convenience arises from the fact that four quarters make a hundredweight, simplifying scaling between small and medium quantities. Today it is mostly of historical interest, but agricultural economists still encounter it when analyzing archival data.
