Kilopound

The kilopound (kip) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 pounds (1,000 lb) or approximately 453.592 kilograms. It is used in engineering and construction to measure large forces and loads.

Origin:

The kilopound was introduced as a convenient unit for measuring large forces and loads in engineering and construction. It is commonly used in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system.

Ounce

The ounce (oz) is a unit of mass or weight used in both the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.3495 grams. The ounce is commonly used to measure small quantities of food, beverages, and precious metals.

Origin:

The ounce traces its origins to ancient Roman times, where it was based on the uncia, which was 1/12 of a Roman pound (libra). The term "ounce" comes from the Latin "uncia", meaning one-twelfth. In medieval Europe, the ounce evolved as a standardized unit of weight, especially in trade. By the 14th century, the Avoirdupois ounce became the standard for most goods in England, which is equivalent to about 28.35 grams. This measurement was later adopted in the United States and other countries using the imperial system.
