RPM to Angular Velocity Calculator (Formula)
The RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) to Angular Velocity conversion formula relates the rotational speed of an object in RPM to its angular velocity in radians per second (rad/s). Angular velocity represents how fast an object is rotating in a circular motion.
The formula to convert RPM to Angular Velocity is:
ω=RPM∗2∗PI/60
Where:
- ω is the angular velocity in radians per second (rad/s).
- RPM is the rotational speed in revolutions per minute.
- 2π is approximately equal to 6.28318, which is the number of radians in one complete revolution (360 degrees).
- 60 is the number of seconds in a minute.
By multiplying the RPM value by (2π / 60), you can calculate the angular velocity of the rotating object in rad/s. This formula is commonly used in physics and engineering to convert rotational speed between RPM and angular velocity in rad/s.
