Cycle per second operation. Thus, one becquerel is one event per second "on average", whereas one hertz is one event per second on a regular cycle. Cycle can also be a unit for measuring usage of reciprocating machines, especially presses, in which cases "cycle" refers to one complete revolution of the mechanism being measured (i.e. the shaft of a reciprocating engine). Cycle per second The cycle per second was a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). The plural form was typically used, often written cycles per second, cycles/second, c.p.s., c/s, ~, or, ambiguously, just cycles.
Angular frequency for the vector quantity angular velocity. One revolution is equal to 2π radians, hence where ω is referred to as the natural frequency (which can sometimes be denoted as ω). As the object oscillates, its acceleration can be calculated by where "x" is displacement from an equilibrium position. Using "ordinary" revolutions-per-second frequency, this equation would be The resonant angular frequency in a series LC circuit equals the square root of the reciprocal of the product of the capacitance ("C" measured in farads) and the inductance of the circuit ("L", with SI unit henry): Adding series resistance (for example, due to
