What are Barn and Square Chain

Definition of Barn

A barn is a unit of area measurement used in nuclear physics to quantify the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei. It's a non-SI unit but accepted for use with the SI, and its symbol is 'b'. The term 'barn' is whimsically derived from the phrase 'as big as a barn,' indicating a large area for nuclear particles to hit. One barn equals 10^-28 square meters.

Definition of Square Chain

A square chain is a unit of area predominantly used in land measurement, particularly in surveying and agriculture. Originating from the Gunter's chain, which measures 66 feet in length, a square chain is the area of a square with each side being one chain long. Therefore, it covers an area of 66 feet by 66 feet, or a total of 4,356 square feet. It is used less frequently today but remains part of historical land records.
