-
One hundredweight (UK) is equal to about 3.0372858918426 × 10^28 proton masses.
Key Terminology
-
Hundredweight (UK)
-
An imperial mass unit equal to 112 avoirdupois pounds or about 50.80234544 kilograms, used historically in British and Commonwealth trade.
-
Proton mass
-
The rest mass of a proton, approximately 1.67262192369×10^−27 kilograms, used as a fundamental atomic mass unit in physics.
