%0 Journal Article %T Energy-momentum distribution of the Weyl-Lewis-Papapetrou and the Levi-Civita metrics %A Sharif %A M. %J Brazilian Journal of Physics %D 2007 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %R 10.1590/S0103-97332007000800017 %X this paper is devoted to compute the energy-momentum densities for two exact solutions of the einstein field equations by using the prescriptions of einstein, landau-lifshitz, papapetrou and m£żller. the spacetimes under consideration are the weyl-lewis-papapetrou and the levi-civita metrics. the weyl metric becomes the special case of the weyl-lewis-papapetrou solution. the levi-civita metric provides constant momentum in each prescription with different energy density. the weyl-lewis-papapetrou metric yields all the quantities different in each prescription. these differences support the well-defined proposal developed by cooperstock and from the energy-momentum tensor itself. %K energy-momentum distribution. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0103-97332007000800017&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
