Furlong
A furlong is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to one-eighth of a mile, 220 yards, or 660 feet.
History/Origin
The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words "furh" (furrow) and "lang" (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field.
Current Use
Today, the furlong is primarily used in horse racing to state the length of races.
Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
