How to Convert Radian Per Second to Revolution Per Minute

1 radian per second = 9.5493 revolutions per minute

Revolution Per Minute = Radian Per Second × 9.5493

Example: 5 rad/s × 9.5493 = 47.746 rpm

Reverse Conversion

To convert revolutions per minute back to radians per second:

  • Remember, 1 revolution per minute equals 0.10472 radians per second.
  • To convert 47.746 rpm to rad/s, multiply 47.746 x 0.10472, resulting in 5 rad/s.

5 rad/s is also equal to:

  • 0.79577 hertz
  • 0.00079577 kilohertz
About these units
