Units explained
Electron Mass (rest)
The electron rest mass is about 9.109E-31 kg.
The mass of the electron, the lightest charged elementary particle.
Atomic and particle physics.
Quantified after J. J. Thomson identified the electron in 1897.
Pennyweight
The pennyweight (dwt) equals one-twentieth of a troy ounce, 24 grains (about 1.555 g).
From the mass of a medieval English silver penny; symbol dwt from 'denarius weight'.
Jewelry making and precious-metal scrap valuation in the US.
Derived from the medieval English coinage system.
