Formula and example

How it is calculated

Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor

Worked example

60 Revolutions/min (rpm) = 6.283185307 rad/s.

Things to check

  • One complete revolution is 360 degrees or 2π radians. Revolutions per minute and revolutions per second differ by a factor of 60.
  • Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
