Center of mass reference point R are and If R is chosen as the center of mass these equations simplify to where "m" is the total mass of all the particles, p is the linear momentum, and L is the angular momentum The Law of Conservation of Momentum predicts that for any system not subjected to external forces the momentum of the system will remain constant, which means the center of mass will move with constant velocity. This applies for all systems with classical internal forces, including magnetic fields, electric fields, chemical reactions, and so on. More formally, this is true for any
Linear density unit of mass, formula_9, is equal to the product of its linear mass density, formula_10, and the infinitesimal unit of length, formula_11: The linear mass density can then be understood as the derivative of the mass function with respect to the one dimension of the rod (the position along its length formula_13) The SI unit of linear mass density is the kilogram per meter (kg/m). Linear density of fibers and yarns can be measured by many methods. The simplest one is to measure a length of material and weigh it. However, this requires a large sample and masks the variability
