Correction text:

1) The SI unit of work (and energy) ought to be written "joule", not "Joule".

2) The symbols of units must not be denoted in italic (you could write
"... joule (= 1 J) which ...".

3) In the base units, joule is 1 kg \cdot m^2 / s^2;
the asterisk (*) is no official symbol for multiplication.
