Rotational & Angular

A wheel that turns at 60 RPM has an angular velocity of 6.283 radians per second, because it makes one turn each second. Quick answer: Multiply the RPM by 2 pi and divide by 60. For example, 60 RPM is 6.283 rad/s, 600 RPM is 62.832 rad/s and 6,000 RPM is 628.32 rad/s. The RPM…

A shaft turning at 1,000 RPM moves at about 104.7 radians per second. Quick answer: Multiply the RPM by 0.10472, which is 2 pi divided by 60. For example, 1,000 RPM is 104.72 rad/s, 10,000 RPM is 1,047.2 rad/s and 100,000 RPM is 10,471.98 rad/s. The RPM to rad/s formula Angular speed in rad/s equals…
