Units explained
Wey
The wey was an English bulk weight, here taken as 252 pounds (about 114.3 kg).
From Old English 'waege', a weighing or balance.
Obsolete English unit for wool, cheese, and salt.
Used in medieval and early-modern English trade.
MeV/c2
MeV/c^2 expresses mass through mass-energy equivalence, E = mc^2; 1 MeV/c^2 is about 1.783E-30 kg.
Derived from Einstein's mass-energy relation, convenient for particle masses.
Particle physics, where masses are stated in MeV/c^2 or GeV/c^2.
Came into use with relativistic particle physics in the 20th century.
Wey to MeV/c2 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 weys and mev/c2:
To convert weys to mev/c2, multiply the value in weys by 6.412056e+31. To reverse, multiply mev/c2 by 1.559562e-32.
How to use this converter
Type a value into the calculator. The result in mev/c2 updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the MeV/c2 to Wey converter for the reverse direction.
Step-by-step: convert weys to mev/c2
- Write down the value in weys (wey).
- Multiply that value by the factor 6.412056e+31.
- The product is the equivalent value in mev/c2 (MeV/c²).
- To reverse, multiply the mev/c2 value by 1.559562e-32.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 wey to MeV/c²:
1 × 6.412056e+31 = 6.412056e+31 MeV/c²
Example 2 — Convert 100 wey to MeV/c²:
100 × 6.412056e+31 = 6.412056e+33 MeV/c²
