Milligrams (mg)
Definition
A milligram (mg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram (0.001 g) or one millionth of a kilogram.
History
The milligram derives from the gram, established during the French Revolution as part of the metric system in 1795. It became essential with the development of analytical chemistry and pharmacology in the 19th century.
Current use
Milligrams are the standard unit for medication dosages, nutritional supplement amounts, vitamins, blood chemistry measurements, and chemical analysis. Nearly all pharmaceutical labels specify quantities in milligrams.
US Tons (short ton)

History
The short ton evolved in the United States as a simplified version of the British long ton, rounding down from 2,240 to 2,000 pounds for easier calculation. It became the standard ton measure in American commerce and industry.
Current use
Short tons are used in the United States for measuring bulk materials (gravel, sand), truck payloads, coal production, and demolition debris. The US mining and construction industries predominantly use short tons.
