What is the Planck mass?

The Planck mass is a fundamental mass scale in quantum gravity defined by m_P = sqrt(ħ c / G), approximately 2.176434×10^−8 kg, representing where quantum gravitational effects become significant.

How is the short ton defined?

The short ton, also known as the US ton, is exactly 2,000 pounds or about 907.18474 kilograms, used primarily in the United States for reporting mass.

Why convert Planck mass to short ton?

This conversion helps relate microscopic theoretical mass scales from physics to conventional mass units used in commerce, aiding interdisciplinary understanding.
