Ton (short, US)

What is a ton (short, us)?

The short (US) ton equals 2,000 pounds, about 907 kilograms.

Origin of the ton (short, us)

The American ton, equal to 20 short hundredweight.

Where it is used

US industry, mining, and commodity output.

When and where it was developed

Standardized within US customary units.

Scientific / Atomic

MeV/c2

What is a mev/c2?

MeV/c^2 expresses mass through mass-energy equivalence, E = mc^2; 1 MeV/c^2 is about 1.783E-30 kg.

Origin of the mev/c2

Derived from Einstein's mass-energy relation, convenient for particle masses.

Where it is used

Particle physics, where masses are stated in MeV/c^2 or GeV/c^2.

When and where it was developed

Came into use with relativistic particle physics in the 20th century.

Ton (short, US) to MeV/c2 conversion formula

The relationship between tons (short, us) and mev/c2:

1 sh tn = 5.088933e+32 MeV/c²
1 MeV/c² = 1.965048e-33 sh tn

To convert tons (short, us) to mev/c2, multiply the value in tons (short, us) by 5.088933e+32. To reverse, multiply mev/c2 by 1.965048e-33.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in mev/c2 updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the MeV/c2 to Ton (short, US) converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert tons (short, us) to mev/c2

  1. Write down the value in tons (short, us) (sh tn).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 5.088933e+32.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in mev/c2 (MeV/c²).
  4. To reverse, multiply the mev/c2 value by 1.965048e-33.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 sh tn to MeV/c²:
1 × 5.088933e+32 = 5.088933e+32 MeV/c²

Example 2 — Convert 100 sh tn to MeV/c²:
100 × 5.088933e+32 = 5.088933e+34 MeV/c²
