Facts about Gram
Basic facts: A gram is a unit of mass in the SI [International System of Units]. Its symbol is [g]. A kilogram is the base of the definition of a gram, where a gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. The definition of the kilogram is no longer based on the international prototype since 2019. It is rather based on Planck’s constant, h, together with the new definitions of the second and the meter.
History: Initially, a gram was defined as the absolute weight of pure water in a cubic centimeter at the temperature of melting ice [later 4 °C]. Until the widespread adoption of SI, which uses kilograms as the base unit of mass, the gram used to be a fundamental unit of mass as part of centimeter-gram-second systems of units. Later, the gram was redefined as one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI [meter-kilogram-second system of units] base unit of mass.
Use: In every life as well as scientific context, the gram is widely used. For instance, the gram is commonly used to measure non-liquid ingredients used for groceries or cooking. Standards often require the relative contents to be stated per 100 grams of the product on the nutrition labels of food products.
Fact about Pound
Basic facts: A pound is a unit of mass used in the United States customary and imperial systems of measurement. Its symbol is [lb.]. The common pound used today is the international avoirdupois pound. It is defined as precisely 0.45359237 kilograms. One avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 (sixteen) avoirdupois ounces.
History: Prior to the international avoirdupois pound that is widely used today, numerous different definitions of the pound were used throughout history. The pound descended from the Roman libra. The avoirdupois system was commonly used in the 13th century. In 1959, it was updated to its current form. This system was based on a physical standardized pound that used a prototype weight. This prototype weight could be divided into a number that had three even divisors [8, 4, 2] i.e., 16 ounces.
Use: In the United States, the pound as a unit of weight is widely used, often for measuring body weight. Many versions of the pound existed in the past in the UK, and although the United Kingdom largely uses the International System of Units, pounds are still used within specific contexts, such as labeling of packaged foods [by law the metric values must also be displayed]. The United Kingdom also often uses both pounds and stones when defining body weight, where a stone is comprised of 14 (fourteen) pounds.
