Quintal

The quintal is a unit of mass used in some countries, primarily in trade and agriculture. It is equal to 100 kilograms (kg) in most countries that use the metric system. In the U.S., however, the quintal is sometimes referred to as 100 pounds (approximately 45.36 kilograms) and is used in certain industries, particularly in agriculture.

Origin:

The term quintal comes from the Latin word "centum", meaning "hundred," and historically referred to a weight of around 100 kilograms. It was used in medieval Europe for measuring bulk commodities like grain, and the weight of the quintal varied by region and commodity. Over time, the quintal became standardized to 100 kilograms in most countries that adopted the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries. It continues to be used in international trade and agriculture, especially in countries like India, Brazil, and some European countries.

Milligram

The milligram (mg) is a unit of mass in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a gram (0.001 g) or one-millionth of a kilogram (0.000001 kg). Since the gram and kilogram are defined using the Planck constant (h) in the International System of Units (SI), the milligram is indirectly tied to this same constant, ensuring precision and consistency.

Origin:

The milligram originated as a derived unit of mass within the metric system, introduced during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. As part of the decimal-based metric system, it was designed to provide a smaller and more convenient unit for measuring very light objects, especially in scientific and medical contexts. It is defined in relation to the gram, which was originally based on the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at 4°C.
