What is a Planck mass?

Planck mass is a fundamental mass unit in quantum physics defined by the formula m_P = sqrt(ħ c / G), representing mass scales relevant to quantum-gravitational effects.

Is kip a mass or force unit?

Kip is primarily a U.S. customary engineering force unit equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force, though sometimes informally used to refer to mass.
