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
Siemens (unit) to distinguish the symbol "S" from the lower-case "s" where "second" is meant, potentially causing confusion. So, for example, a pentode’s transconductance of 2.2 mS might alternatively be written as or (most common in the 1930s) or 2.2 mA/V. A handwritten "S" can also be misread as the frequency space variable "s", commonly used in transfer functions. Siemens (unit) The siemens (symbol: S) is the derived unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance and electric admittance in the International System of Units (SI). Conductance, susceptance, and admittance are the reciprocals of resistance, reactance, and impedance respectively; hence one siemens is redundantly
