How to convert rotations per minute to degrees per second

1 rotations per minute (rpm) is equal to 6 degrees per second (deg/s). Conversely, 1 degrees per second (deg/s) is equal to 0.1666667 rotations per minute (rpm).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the degrees per second to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert rotations per minute to degrees per second

Converting units

In this we need to convert units between ISO and SI standard units. 1 revolution is same as 1 Hz in SI unit system. 1 Hz is a 1 cycle/s. 1 cycle is also equal to 360 deg

1rpm=160Hz=160360deg/s1 rpm = \frac{1}{60} Hz = \frac{1}{60} * 360 deg/s

Solving the equation to degrees per second

1rpm=6deg/s1 rpm = 6 deg/s

or

1deg/s=16rpm=0.16666667rpm1 deg/s = \frac{1}{6}rpm = 0.16666667 rpm

What is rotations per minute?

The rotations per minute or rotational speed is a measurement used for measuring number of revolutions or cycles a object rotate around an axis in a unit of time. This is also know as rpm (revolution per minute) or cps (cycles per minute). This is the standard SI unit for measuring angular velocity. Unit of rotations per second is HzHz.

1Hz=2πω=2πrads=360degs1 Hz = 2\pi\omega = 2\pi*\frac{rad}{s} = 360 \frac{deg}{s}

What is degrees per second?

The degrees per second is a measurement used for defining angular velocity. This is not the standard unit for measuring angular velocity. It is rad/s which is a SI unit. Unit of degrees per second is deg/s\deg/s or degs1\deg*s^{-1}.

1 degs=2πω360=2πrads13601\ \frac{deg}{s} = \frac{2\pi*\omega}{360} = \frac{2\pi*rad*s^{-1}}{360}
