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
2019 redefinition of SI base units countries adhering to the Metre Convention". The recommendations based on this mandate were presented to the 11th CGPM (1960) where they were formally accepted and given the name """ and its abbreviation "SI". Changing the underlying principles behind the definition of the SI base units is not without precedent. The 11th CGPM (1960) defined the SI metre in terms of the wavelength of krypton-86 radiation, replacing the pre-SI metre bar. The 13th CGPM (1967) replaced the original definition of the second (which was based on Earth's average rotation during 1750–1892) with a definition based on the frequency of the radiation
