Negative frequency Negative frequency The concept of negative and positive frequency can be as simple as a wheel rotating one way or the other way: a "signed value" of frequency can indicate both the rate and direction of rotation. The rate is expressed in units such as revolutions (a.k.a. "cycles") per second (hertz) or radian/second (where 1 cycle corresponds to 2"π" radians). Let "ω" be a nonnegative parameter with units of radians/sec. Then the angular function (angle vs. time) , has slope −"ω", which is called a negative frequency. But when the function is used as the argument of a cosine operator,
Kilogram-force per square centimetre SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square metre (N/m). A newton is equal to a kg·m/s, and a kilogram-force is 9.80665 newtons, meaning that 1 kgf/cm equals 98.0665 kilopascals (kPa). In some older publications, kilogram-force per square centimetre is abbreviated ksc instead of kg/cm. All the Russian origin gauges are indicating pressure in Kgf/cm2 and are calibrated annually. Kilogram-force per square centimetre A kilogram-force per centimetre square (kgf/cm), often just kilogram per square centimetre (kg/cm), or kilopond per centimetre square is a deprecated unit of pressure
