Long Ton (abbreviations: Lton, or ton imperial): is a non-SI metric unit of mass. Although, it is used principally as a unit of mass, it has acquired a number of meanings and uses over long years. It is equivalent to 1,016 kilograms (Kg), or approximately 2,239.859 pounds (lb), or 1.119929 short tons (US), or 1.016 metric tons.
Atomic Mass Unit (abbreviations: amu, or u): also known as dalton (symbol: Da), is a standard unit of mass that used on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). One unified atomic mass unit is about the mass of one nucleon (either a single proton or neutron) and equivalent to 1 g/mol.
How to Convert Long Tons to Atomic Mass Units
Example: How many atomic mass units are equivalent to 8.69 Long tons?
As;
1 Long tons = 6.1206636408804E+29 atomic mass units
8.69 Long tons = Y atomic mass units
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 8.69 times 6.1206636408804E+29 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 8.69 * 6.1206636408804E+29 / 1 = 5.3188567039251E+30 atomic mass units
Answer is: 5.3188567039251E+30 atomic mass units are equivalent to 8.69 Long tons.
