Posted By Richard L Could any one please give me the equation for momentum? After trawling through my literature I’m still non the wiser. A typical scenario would be this: - I have an HGV travelling at 15 miles per hour with a 2.5 ton bar on the trailer, what would the linear momentum weight of the bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Richard

Posted By Peter Longworth I think it is a simple mass x velocity, although I might be wrong.

Posted By Peter Longworth I've just checked on the net and it is mass x velocity and is measured in kgm/sec
