What are Hectometer and Barn

Definition of Hectometer

A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 meters or one-tenth of a kilometer. It is not commonly used in everyday measurements but can be utilized in land measurement for larger plots, representing a square hectometer (hm²) as an area of 10,000 square meters.

Definition of Barn

A barn is a unit of area used in physics, particularly in cross sectional areas in nuclear and particle physics. It's equivalent to 10^-28 square meters. The term 'barn' was coined during the Manhattan Project as a code word to represent a large area when discussing the probability of successfully striking a uranium nucleus.

Conversion of Hectometer to Barn

1 hm² = 1.0e+25 b
0.1 hm² = 1.0e+24 b

Example 1:
Convert 0.5 hm² to b:
0.5 hm² = 0.5 × 1.0e+25 b = 5.0e+24 b

Example 2:
Convert 2 hm² to b:
2 hm² = 2 × 1.0e+25 b = 2.0e+25 b
