About these units
Quintal (Metric) (cwt (m))
The metric quintal, equal to 100 kilograms, is commonly used in agriculture for measuring harvest yields, livestock feed, and bulk commodities such as grains, sugar, and potatoes. Its simplicity makes it popular in countries with strong agricultural sectors. Farmers, traders, and cooperatives find the quintal more intuitive for medium-sized loads than kilograms or metric tons. Though not an SI unit, it remains deeply embedded in agricultural commerce throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Planck Mass (mₕ)
The Planck mass, approximately 2.176434 × 10⁻⁸ kilograms, occupies a unique position in theoretical physics. Unlike particle masses, it is derived entirely from fundamental constants—Planck's constant, Newton's gravitational constant, and the speed of light. The Planck mass represents a mass scale where quantum mechanical and gravitational effects become comparable. Although enormous relative to subatomic particles (roughly the mass of a dust grain), it is considered "natural" in that it emerges from pure physics rather than empirical observation. In theoretical studies of black holes, quantum gravity, string theory, and early-universe cosmology, the Planck mass marks a boundary beyond which existing models require unification. It is a conceptual rather than practical unit, yet it provides a profound insight into the structure of physical law.
