The question is essentially about SI unit order, and besides this title is more relevant to the site.

| Aug 26, 2020 at 15:29 | comment | added | MrArsGravis | The answers posted are all great answers, but since I don't see anyone specifically addressing this yet‒and I know this will seem pedantic–I wanted to point out that units should always be in roman, i.e. upright, and not italic font. Variables italic, units upright, anything that's a word upright, see e.g. this NIST standard. That way you can instantly distinguish between, e.g., a mass $m$ and a meter $\mathrm{m}$, greatly improving clarity. A good habit to learn early on. | |
