Radian per second frequency, , corresponds to an ordinary frequency, , which corresponds to a frequency of rotation of . 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
Poise (unit) Poise (unit) The poise (symbol P; ) is the unit of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity) in the centimetre–gram–second system of units. It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation). The analogous unit in the International System of Units is the pascal-second (Pa⋅s): The poise is often used with the metric prefix "centi-" because the viscosity of water at 20 °C (NTP) is almost exactly 1 centipoise. A centipoise is one hundredth of a poise, or one millipascal-second (mPa⋅s) in SI units (1 cP = 10 Pa⋅s = 1 mPa⋅s). The CGS symbol for the centipoise is cP.
