2002-03-07 Some equations require angular velocity in radians per second (rad/s) instead of hertz. Such as power equals torque times angular velocity (P = T w); where T is the Greek letter capital tau and w is the Greek letter small omega. Rpm really should be expressed in radians per second, not hertz.
