#"S = Svedberg "#

Explanation:

Svedberg is a unit used to measure the rate at which the molecules move in a centrifuge or the rate at which they get sedimented. In case of ribosomes, it is used to distinguish between two ribosomal subunits i.e #"40s and 60s"#.

The faster a particles move when centrifuged, greater is the Svedberg(S or Sv) value.
