Units explained

Troy & Apothecary

Dram (apothecary/troy)

What is a dram (apothecary/troy)?

The apothecary (troy) dram equals one-eighth of a troy ounce, about 3.888 grams.

Origin of the dram (apothecary/troy)

From the apothecaries' system rooted in the Greek 'drachma'.

Where it is used

Historical pharmacy and medicine compounding.

When and where it was developed

Part of the apothecaries' system of weights used through the 19th century.

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 (apothecary/troy) to MeV/c2 conversion formula

The relationship between drams (apothecary/troy) and mev/c2:

1 dr ap = 2.180971e+27 MeV/c²
1 MeV/c² = 4.585113e-28 dr ap

To convert drams (apothecary/troy) to mev/c2, multiply the value in drams (apothecary/troy) by 2.180971e+27. To reverse, multiply mev/c2 by 4.585113e-28.

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 (apothecary/troy) converter for the reverse direction.

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

  1. Write down the value in drams (apothecary/troy) (dr ap).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2.180971e+27.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in mev/c2 (MeV/c²).
  4. To reverse, multiply the mev/c2 value by 4.585113e-28.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 dr ap to MeV/c²:
1 × 2.180971e+27 = 2.180971e+27 MeV/c²

Example 2 — Convert 100 dr ap to MeV/c²:
100 × 2.180971e+27 = 2.180971e+29 MeV/c²

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

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

1 dr ap × 2.180971e+27 = 2.180971e+27 MeV/c²

Real-world example — Centimeter to wavelength scale

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

1 dr ap × 2.180971e+27 = 2.180971e+27 MeV/c²
