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
Gray (unit) of the gray by the 15th General Conference on Weights and Measures as the unit of measure of the absorption of ionizing radiation, specific energy absorption, and of kerma in 1975 was the culmination of over half a century of work, both in the understanding of the nature of ionizing radiation and in the refinement of measuring techniques. The following table shows radiation quantities in SI and non-SI units. Gray (unit) The gray (symbol: Gy) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the absorption of one joule of
