Unit Definition (nook) The nook is a traditional unit of land area in northern England. Originally the nook was 1/2 virgate; a virgate, often called a yardland in the north, was about 30 acres in southern England but tended to be closer to 40 acres in the north. A nook of land thus came to be 20 acres or about 8.094 hectares. Unit Definition (shed) The shed is an exceptionally small unit of area used in particle physics. Like its big brother, the barn, the shed is used to express the apparent cross-sectional area of a particle from which other particles are scattered. One shed equals 10E-24 barn, which is 10E-52 square meter or 0.0001 square yoctometer.
