Hertz radians per second. Thus a disc rotating at 60 revolutions per minute (rpm) is said to be rotating at either 2 rad/s "or" 1 Hz, where the former measures the angular velocity and the latter reflects the number of "complete" revolutions per second. The conversion between a frequency "f" measured in hertz and an angular velocity "ω" measured in radians per second is The hertz is named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894), who made important scientific contributions to the study of electromagnetism. The name was established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 1930. It was adopted by
Newton (unit) the thrust of an F100 fighter jet engine are both around 130 kN. One kilonewton, 1 kN, is , or about 100 kg of load. So for example, a platform that shows it is rated at , will safely support a load. Specifications in kilonewtons are common in safety specifications for: Newton (unit) The newton (symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. See below for the conversion factors. "One newton is the force needed
