Could someone please take a look at this sentence:
"However, being two distinct and separate physical concepts the units are always written as newton metres and never as joules."
I think this needs work to make sense, but being unfamiliar with the overall concept I'd rather someone take a look and see if I'm right.
For example, does the following make sense?
"However, because newton metres and joules are distinct and separate physical concepts, newton metres is always used when referring to moment of force."
