Units explained
Planck Mass
The Planck mass equals about 2.18E-8 kg, formed from the constants h-bar, c, and G.
Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of a system of natural units.
Theoretical physics and quantum-gravity research.
Defined by Planck in 1899 from fundamental constants.
Dram (avoirdupois)
The avoirdupois dram (dr) equals one-sixteenth of an ounce, about 1.77 grams.
From Greek 'drachma' through Latin 'dragma'.
Historically pharmacy; today occasional cooking and firearms (powder) use.
Defined as 1/256 of the avoirdupois pound.
