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.

Indian / South Asian

Chittack (Chatank)

What is a chittack (chatank)?

The chittack (chatank) equals one-sixteenth of a seer, about 58.3 grams.

Origin of the chittack (chatank)

A traditional South Asian unit in the seer-based system.

Where it is used

Historical grocery and provisions weighing in India and Bangladesh.

When and where it was developed

Part of the pre-metric South Asian weight system.

MeV/c2 to Chittack (Chatank) conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between mev/c2 and chittacks (chatank):

1 MeV/c² = 3.056742e-29 chittack
