quantum mechanics - Is there no coordinate conjugate to $L_x$?


The conjugate momentum corresponding to $\phi$ (azimuthal angle in sp. polar coordinate) is $L_z$ (sometimes written $L_\phi$) which is frequently used in quantum mechanics. Why is there no coordinate conjugate to $L_x$ (or $L_y$)?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
