Revolutions per minute velocity. The corresponding basic SI derived unit is s or Hz. When measuring angular speed, the unit radians per second is used. Formally, hertz (Hz) and radian per second (rad/s) are two different names for the same SI unit, s. However, they are used for two different but proportional ISQ quantities: frequency and angular frequency (angular speed, magnitude of angular velocity). The conversion between a frequency (measured in hertz) and an angular velocity (measured in radians per second) are: Thus a disc rotating at 60 rpm is said to be rotating at either 2 rad/s or 1 Hz, where the
Unit of length Unit of length A unit of length refers to any discrete, pre-established length or distance having a constant magnitude which is used as a reference or convention to express linear dimension. The most common units in modern use are U.S. customary units in the United States and metric units elsewhere. British Imperial units are still used for some purposes in the United Kingdom and some other countries. The metric system is sub-divided into SI and non-SI units. The base unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the metre, defined as "the length of the path travelled by light
