Units of measurement

It would be helpful if the table showing differences between linear momentum and angular momentum showed the differences in the units of measurement. This would reinforce the notion that it isn't reasonable to add linear momentum and angular momentum in the hope of arriving at some sort of total momentum. My understanding of the units, in the SI system, are as follows:

  • linear momentum kg.m.s-1
  • angular momentum kg.m2.s-1

I'm not skilled at manipulating tables of this kind. If someone able to manipulate the table agrees with my request, feel free to go ahead and add another row! Dolphin51 (talk) 00:59, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
