The kilogram

The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass. Since the 2019 redefinition it is defined by fixing the Planck constant to exactly 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, replacing the old International Prototype Kilogram artifact. In everyday use, the kilogram is the global standard for body weight, groceries, and engineering specifications.

The short ton (US ton)

The short ton (US ton) equals exactly 2,000 pounds, or 907.18474 kg. It is the standard 'ton' in US commerce, freight, and industrial contexts — distinct from both the metric tonne (1,000 kg) and the UK long ton (2,240 lb).
