Units explained
Tola
The tola equals 180 troy grains, about 11.6638 grams (three-eighths of a troy ounce).
From Sanskrit 'tula', meaning a balance or weighing.
The primary unit for gold and silver across India, Pakistan, and Nepal.
Fixed at 180 grains under British India in 1833.
Attogram
An attogram (ag) equals 10^-21 kilogram.
From the SI prefix 'atto-' (from Danish 'atten', eighteen).
Frontier nanoscience and single-molecule mass detection.
The atto- prefix was adopted by the CGPM in 1975.
