Proposed New Definition of the Kilogram

The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined

by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h

to be 6.626 070 040 x 10-34 when expressed in the unit J s,

which is equal to kg m2 s-1, where the metre and the second

are defined in terms of c and ∆νCs.
