The myriagram is part of the larger metric system, where one myriagram equals 10 kilograms, as 1 kilogram is defined as 1,000 grams.
Tola (unit) 1970-01-01
The tola is a traditional unit of mass that is commonly used in South Asia, particularly in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, for measuring precious metals such as gold and silver. One tola is approximately equal to 11.66 grams or 0.375 troy ounces. Historically, the tola was used in different contexts, and its exact weight could vary slightly based on regional definitions. However, the standardized value of approximately 11.
Ton 1970-01-01
The term "ton" can refer to several different things, depending on the context. Here are a few common meanings: 1. **Unit of Weight**: The ton is a unit of weight commonly used to measure mass. There are several types of tons: - **Metric Ton (tonne)**: Equal to 1,000 kilograms (approximately 2,204.62 pounds).
Zollpfund 1970-01-01
Zollpfund is a historical unit of measurement that was used in the German-speaking regions, particularly in relation to trade and commerce. The term "Zoll" translates to "customs" or "duty," and "Pfunde" refers to pounds. The Zollpfund was essentially a weight measurement used to determine the quantity of goods being taxed or subjected to customs duties.
