    During vibration analysis, frequency is usually measured in

    • Mils

    • Phase lags

    • Cycles per second

    • Phases per second

    Correct Answer
    A. Cycles per second
    Explanation
    During vibration analysis, frequency is usually measured in cycles per second. This is because frequency represents the number of complete cycles or oscillations that occur in one second. It is a fundamental parameter used to analyze vibrations and is commonly expressed in cycles per second, also known as Hertz (Hz). This measurement helps in identifying the rate or speed at which the vibration is occurring, allowing for further analysis and understanding of the vibration behavior.
