Radian per second Radian per second The radian per second (symbol: rad·s or rad/s) is the SI unit of rotational speed (angular velocity), commonly denoted by the Greek letter "ω" (omega). The radian per second is also the unit of angular frequency. The radian per second is defined as the change in the orientation of an object, in radians, every second. Since the radian is a dimensionless unit, the radian per second is dimensionally equivalent to the hertz—both are defined as s. This may lead to confusion between the quantities angular frequency "ω" and frequency "ν". A use of the "unit radian per
Pascal (unit) Pascal (unit) The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square metre. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa) which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa) which is equal to one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as . Meteorological reports typically state atmospheric pressure in millibars. The unit is
