Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (electronvolt) The electronvolt is a unit of mass used in particle physics. Mass and energy are related by Einstein's famous equation, E = mc2. The constant c is the speed of light, 299.79 x 10E6 m/sec. An energy of 1 electronvolt is therefore equivalent to a mass of about 1.782 662 x 10E-33 gram, or about 1.073 544 x 10E-9 atomic mass unit. Unit Definition (truss) The truss is a traditional weight unit, generally equal to 4 stone or 56 pounds (about 25.4 kilograms). The truss was used primarily for measuring hay. In 1795, Parliament specified that a truss of hay should equal 56 pounds for old hay or 60 pounds (about 27.2 kilograms) for new hay.
