Convert revolution / minute to revolution / second

Learn how to convert 1 revolution / minute to revolution / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{s e c o n d})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{r a d i a n}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{π}{30.0} (\frac{r a d i a n}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{π}{30.0} (\frac{r a d}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{s e c o n d}) = 2.0 \times π (\frac{r a d i a n}{s e c o n d}) = 2.0 \times π (\frac{r a d}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{π}{30.0} \times (\frac{r a d i a n}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 2.0 \times π \times (\frac{r a d i a n}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{π}{30.0} \cdot (\frac{r a d}{s}) = x \cdot 2.0 \times π \cdot (\frac{r a d}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{π}{30.0} \cdot (\frac{r a d}{s}) = x \times 2.0 \times π \times (\frac{r a d}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{π}{30.0} = x \times 2.0 \times π

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{π}{30.0} = x \times π \times 2.0

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{30.0} = x \times 2.0

Switch sides

x \times 2.0 = \frac{1.0}{30.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.0})

x \times 2.0 \times \frac{1.0}{2.0} = \frac{1.0}{30.0} \times \frac{1.0}{2.0}

Cancel

x \times 2.0 \times \frac{1.0}{2.0} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.0}{30.0 \times 2.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{30.0 \times 2.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0166666667 \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{m i n u t e}) \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{r e v o l u t i o n}{s e c o n d})
