If you want, but that's a very abstract displacement, as there is no movement involved. >There is no similar way to convert energy to torque, or vice versa. The dot product of torque and angular displacement gives you energy (work), with no change of dimension. How about frequency and angular velocity as two different quantities with the same dimensions? And if you use "natural units" as in relativity you can have lots more fun. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
