Units explained

Avoirdupois

Dram (avoirdupois)

What is a dram (avoirdupois)?

The avoirdupois dram (dr) equals one-sixteenth of an ounce, about 1.77 grams.

Origin of the dram (avoirdupois)

From Greek 'drachma' through Latin 'dragma'.

Where it is used

Historically pharmacy; today occasional cooking and firearms (powder) use.

When and where it was developed

Defined as 1/256 of the avoirdupois pound.

Scientific / Atomic

MeV/c2

What is a mev/c2?

MeV/c^2 expresses mass through mass-energy equivalence, E = mc^2; 1 MeV/c^2 is about 1.783E-30 kg.

Origin of the mev/c2

Derived from Einstein's mass-energy relation, convenient for particle masses.

Where it is used

Particle physics, where masses are stated in MeV/c^2 or GeV/c^2.

When and where it was developed

Came into use with relativistic particle physics in the 20th century.

Dram (avoirdupois) to MeV/c2 conversion formula

The relationship between drams (avoirdupois) and mev/c2:

1 dr = 9.939323e+26 MeV/c²
1 MeV/c² = 1.006105e-27 dr

To convert drams (avoirdupois) to mev/c2, multiply the value in drams (avoirdupois) by 9.939323e+26. To reverse, multiply mev/c2 by 1.006105e-27.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in mev/c2 updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the MeV/c2 to Dram (avoirdupois) converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert drams (avoirdupois) to mev/c2

  1. Write down the value in drams (avoirdupois) (dr).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 9.939323e+26.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in mev/c2 (MeV/c²).
  4. To reverse, multiply the mev/c2 value by 1.006105e-27.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 dr to MeV/c²:
1 × 9.939323e+26 = 9.939323e+26 MeV/c²

Example 2 — Convert 100 dr to MeV/c²:
100 × 9.939323e+26 = 9.939323e+28 MeV/c²

Real-world example — Centimeter to wavelength scale

One dram (avoirdupois) equals 10 million mev/c2. Physics curricula use this kind of conversion to relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 dr × 9.939323e+26 = 9.939323e+26 MeV/c²

Real-world example — Small-scale to atomic-scale

One dram (avoirdupois) equals 10 million mev/c2 — useful for physics curricula that relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 dr × 9.939323e+26 = 9.939323e+26 MeV/c²
