Why convert pounds to electron rest mass?

Converting pounds to electron rest mass allows researchers to express macroscopic masses in fundamental atomic units, which is useful in physics and engineering for relating mass to energy and particle properties.

Is this conversion used in everyday measurements?

No, this conversion is mainly theoretical and is not used for routine or commercial weight and mass measurements.

How large are the numbers resulting from this conversion?

The resulting values are extremely large due to the tiny mass of an electron, so results are typically expressed in scientific notation for easier handling.
