Dimension of momentum per metre

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the dimensional analysis of momentum, specifically in the context of its units expressed as kg1 m1 s-1. Participants explore the implications of this unit, questioning whether there are additional attributes associated with kg1 s-1 beyond the designation of "momentum per metre." The inverse unit, s1 kg-1, is also mentioned, leading to a consideration of its relationship with mass flow. The conversation concludes that while "momentum per metre" is the primary interpretation, further exploration of mass flow dynamics is warranted.

Considering momentum to be in units of \rm kg^1 m^1 s^{-1}, is there any particular attribute associated with \rm kg^1 s^{-1} (other than "momentum per metre")? Or perhaps the inverse \rm s^{1} kg^{-1}? Just curious.
