AI Thread Summary
To ensure consistency in units when working with density and rotation, it is crucial to select a coherent system, such as MKS (meter-kilogram-second). For density, the appropriate unit is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). Rotation can be expressed in radians per second (rad/s) when using the MKS system. Mixing units like Newtons, millimeters, and megapascals can lead to confusion and errors. Adopting a single unit system simplifies calculations and enhances clarity in measurements.

Please can anyone help me?I'm confused here.

If I'm following unit of force as Newton, and length as mm; and stress as MPa,then for a consistent system of units (see link below);

http://www.dynasupport.com/howtos/general/consistent-units/

what should be the unit for:
1)density
2) rotation

for me I would convert everything to MKS and then work it out rather than mix and match various units of measure unless there is a clear reason to do otherwise. Similarly for choosing CGS...
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
