Kiloton

The kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000,000 kilograms (1,000,000 kg) or 1,000 metric tons. It is used to measure very large masses, such as in industry and transportation.

Origin:

The kiloton was introduced as part of the metric system to represent large quantities of mass. It is commonly used in fields like shipping, agriculture, and environmental science.

Stone (UK)

The stone (st) is a unit of mass used primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland to measure body weight. It is defined as 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kilograms. The stone is still commonly used in the UK for personal weight, especially in everyday contexts like medical and fitness settings.

Origin:

The stone has ancient origins, dating back to the medieval period. Historically, the weight of a stone varied depending on the commodity being measured, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds. For example, in England, the stone was used to measure wool, and different types of goods had their own stone weights. In 1300, a standardized 14-pound stone was adopted for use in the wool trade. Over time, this 14-pound definition became the standard, and the stone was widely used in the UK for measuring body weight, a tradition that continues today.
