Here's a breakdown:
* M: Mass (kg)
* L: Length (m)
* T: Time (s)
Derivation:
Angular momentum (L) is defined as:
L = Iω
Where:
* I: Moment of inertia ([M L²])
* ω: Angular velocity ([T⁻¹])
Therefore, the dimension of angular momentum is:
[L] = [I] * [ω] = [M L²] * [T⁻¹] = [M L² T⁻¹]
Units of Angular Momentum:
The standard unit of angular momentum is the kilogram meter squared per second (kg m²/s).
