Tonne

The tonne (t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms (1,000 kg) or 1 megagram (1 Mg). It is part of the metric system but is not an SI unit. However, it is accepted for use with the SI due to its widespread application in measuring large masses, such as in industry and transportation.

Origin:

The tonne was introduced in the 1790s during the creation of the metric system in France. It was established as a convenient way to represent large quantities of mass, aligning with the decimal-based nature of the system. The term "tonne" is derived from the Old French word "tonne", meaning a large cask or barrel, reflecting its use in measuring heavy loads. Over time, it became a standardized unit used globally in fields like shipping, agriculture, and environmental science.

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.
