SI derived unit Until 1995, the SI classified the radian and the steradian as "supplementary units", but this designation was abandoned and the units were grouped as derived units. SI derived unit SI derived units are units of measurement derived from the seven base units specified by the International System of Units (SI). They are either dimensionless or can be expressed as a product of one or more of the base units, possibly scaled by an appropriate power of exponentiation. The SI has special names for 22 of these derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the
Inch per second Inch per second The inch per second is a unit of speed or velocity. It expresses the distance in inches ("in") traveled or displaced, divided by time in seconds ("s", or "sec"). The equivalent SI unit is the metre per second. Abbreviations include in/s, in/sec, ips, and less frequently in s. 1 inch per second is equivalent to: 1 metre per second ≈ 39.370079 inches per second (approximately)<br> 1 foot per second = 12 inches per second (exactly)<br> 1 mile per hour = 17.6 inches per second (exactly)<br> 1 kilometre per hour ≈ 10.936133 inches per second (approximately) In magnetic
