Kilogram
Definition
One kilogram was previously defined as the numeric value of the Planck constant, h, which is equal to 6.62607015 × 10-34 J·s. The base units of area (m), electric current (A), frequency (ν), newton (N), resistance (Ω) and thermodynamic temperature(K) are all defined in relation to the kilogram by way of a specified length, the speed of light or a specific energy quantity. For example, all measurements of electromagnetism, gravitation and mechanics are relative to the kilogram. Even though SI units were changed in 2019, the actual size or mass of the kilogram hasn't been changed because it's not how they're used on a daily basis around the world.
Origin
Kilograms were called "kilograms" and got their name from the Greek term for "a thousand," before the Latin term for "a small weight."
Unlike the other SI base units, the kilogram is the only base unit with an SI prefix. SI is a system based on the meter-kilogram-second system of units rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. This is at least in part due to the inconsistencies and lack of coherence that can arise through use of centimeter-gram-second systems, such as those between the systems of electrostatic and electromagnetic units.
The kilogram was originally defined as 1 liter of water at its freezing point in 1794, but was eventually re-defined due to inaccuracy in measuring it.
A kilogram was a measurement of mass that was originally determined by measuring the weight of a physical prototype, which is the cylinder made from platinum and iridium. The current definition for one kilogram is based on Planck's constant, which defines it in terms of force. This leads to scientists having to rethink the kilogram's definition. Prior to this, the original prototype and other copies of the international prototype would each weigh slightly different amounts as time went on.
Current use
The kilogram (symbol: kg) is the fundamental unit of mass in the International System of Units and is defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram. The kilogram is a base unit of weight, which means that only a kilogram and other -grams can be measured with it.
Ounce
Definition
The common ounce (symbol: oz) is a unit of mass that can be used to measure both weight and size. One common ounce equals 28.349523125 grams, which is equal to the size of one sixteenth of a pound.
Origin
The original definition of an ounce stemmed from the Roman term, 'uncia' - a "twelfth part" - and a copper bar that was divided into twelve equal parts, or unciae. This relationship between the Roman pound and foot eventually contributed to the uncia being the basis of the modern inch as well as the common ounce. The ounce has been used for many different applications throughout history with many different definitions. These include Dutch metric ounces (100g), French ounces (30.59g), Spanish ounces (28.75g) among others - all of which are derived from the original Roman uncia. It is important to note that in 1959, a unified international avoirdupois ounce was adopted worldwide.
Current use
Today, the ounce is mainly used in the United States for measuring packaged food products, portions for food preparation and for mailing postal items. The cost of a product may differ by weight so it's helpful to know what measurement you are buying. It is also used in many other countries, although they mostly use metric measurements. The UK is one such country that switched to metric measurements, but the ounce is still sometimes used there- especially in restaurants.
