About Decigram (dg)
Definition
The decigram is a unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (10⁻¹ g) or 100 milligrams.
Mathematical Relationship
1 dg = 0.1 g = 100 mg = 10 cg.
Conversion Formula
To convert dg to grams: divide by 10. To convert dg to mg: multiply by 100.
Practical Applications
Limited modern use. May appear in some European cooking recipes or educational worksheets.
Interesting Facts
The decigram was in wider use in the 19th century when the metric system was still establishing conventions.
Common Mistakes
Confusing dg (decigram) with dag (dekagram) — they differ by a factor of 100.
Educational Tips
Deci = one-tenth, deka = ten. They are opposite: dg = 0.1 g, dag = 10 g.
About Long Ton (UK) (ton (UK))
Definition
The long ton (imperial ton) is a unit of mass equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms.
Mathematical Relationship
1 long ton = 2,240 lb = 1,016.047 kg = 1.016 metric tonnes = 1.12 short tons.
Conversion Formula
To convert long tons to kg: multiply by 1,016.047. To convert long tons to short tons: multiply by 1.12.
Practical Applications
Ship displacement tonnage (historical, some naval vessels still use it), and some UK agricultural contexts.
Interesting Facts
Naval ship displacement is traditionally given in long tons. HMS Titanic displaced about 52,310 long tons.
Common Mistakes
Assuming a 'ton' is a 'ton' — the long ton is 12% heavier than a short ton and 1.6% heavier than a metric tonne.
Educational Tips
Easy memory: Long ton = British = 2,240 lb (long = larger). Short ton = US = 2,000 lb (short = smaller).
