Units explained
Atomic Mass Unit
One unified atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, about 1.6605E-27 kg.
Introduced to give atomic and molecular masses convenient numerical values.
Atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics and chemistry.
The unified (carbon-12) scale was adopted by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
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.
